If they cannot devote the same amount of time to practise as future professional (should) do, things will take longer fort he future amateurs off course. Necessary things to study are transposition, basic understanding harmony, some of music history & the main composers of the past, some of instrumental science (Instrumentenkunde), to know a bit about the other instruments of the symphonic orchestra, rhythm, music writing (not composing) to know how to rewrite something if necessary (by using the computer), hearing exercises, vocalise, singing in a choir.
If all is timed carefully, it should work & make a very good amateur horn player. ====================================================================== -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von pieter dejonghe Gesendet: Mittwoch, 18.

What do you recommend amateurs to become good amateurs. For them, it's almost impossible to get all that knowledge, wich is accessible for pro's. What are the absolutely needed skills for amateurs? What's are good attitudes when private lessons are quite impossible? Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Hans Pizka Verzonden: woensdag 18 juni 2003 13:58 Aan: 'The Horn List' Onderwerp: [Hornlist] besides practising the horn and playing loud Do you really think, practising horn for (say) three hours a day would be enough to arrive at professional playing level, would be enough to prepare oneself for the profession as a musician, do you ? I hope not. This would be not enough definitely. _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans.pizka%40t-online.de _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
