Another point from the article I disagree with: > “Some people think the French horn is one of the hardest instruments to play, so > we’ll need a couple of our top students to play horn in our band.” Telling beginning students that "some instruments (horn, oboe, bassoon) are harder" is not a way to plan for success. Why give a beginner an excuse for messing up? I don't know how many time someone has said to me, "Oh! You play the French horn? That's supposed to be really hard!" To which I say, "it's the only instrument I play well; every time I've tried the flute or saxophone it was *really* hard!"
