Rubank, Inc.

359 documented arrangements

Grew out of Finder & Urbanek, a Chicago sheet-music and saxophone-accessory business; incorporated as Rubank, Inc. in 1927 when Harry Ruppel Sr. and Joseph James Urbanek bought out their partner. Became one of the largest music-education publishers, known for its Elementary/Intermediate/Advanced method-book series (the saxophone method dates to 1934 and is still used today). Dissolved as an Illinois corporation in 1988; its catalog was absorbed into Hal Leonard, which still publishes the Rubank methods.
