That's the one, although it's also available on the International Music Score 
Library I believe (which is a wonderful resource for browsing literature and 
looking at orchestral scores). 

I don't believe in teaching beginners (or students) 'the fingerings' and expect 
them to learn. They should think along the harmonics of the instrument, and 
know them well. Plus, if they know the harmonics, they will never have to ask 
for the fingerings.

William, the light brown thin folio format book ? no better choice for 

beginners, as agility is acquired 

through such exercises within the harmonics of the horn. One has only to care, 

that the youngsters are not too ambitious reaching for the written g2 (on top) 

or high c too early.



This is exactly how I began with the horn, but did it on a 150 years old hand 

horn.



The other advantage of that method is to get a good feeling about the horn 

sound.

Hans
