First: throw the tuner out of your practice room & use your ear to correct pitches. If the slides are set once, they should stay so. Just remember how far they have to be pulled out each. Remember that the Bb-slides (the lower set) have to be pulled out just a bit less than the F-slides.
Get the Schantl: Great theoretical-practical Method & work it through on both sides of the horn & by combining both sides. Do one #-tonality followed by one bb-tonality. If you have difficulties getting the very high notes, skip these measures & try them two months or half year later when your embouchure is improved. Get the right horn mouthpiece after playing mello before. Come back with your questions, after you have passed this book. ========================================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Unkn own Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 2:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] help hello, i just recently managed to get a double french horn. there isnt any horn tutors in my area, so i would have to learn how to play the horn by myself. basically, i have the foundation due to my 4 years experience on playing the marching mellophone in my school's marching band. i do know the fingerings for the horn and i use a tuner to keep in tune. what can i do to improve my playing and my techniques? please advice. thanks Ian --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
