Try practicing playing your horn as a Bb instrument. This will get you
used to both the range and slight fingering changes. I find many
transpositions are easier on the brain when I transpose for a Bb horn
rather than an F horn, especially sight reading. You'll also discover
the advantage of the Bb horn for fast moving, articulated parts, in the
low register.

I managed to avoid this throughout my rep exams in my degree, but now
it's a
requested piece of rep for a rather important audition which is very
soon.
I CANNOT get my head around B natural!
Does anybody have any tips to go about sight the initial sight reading
of it?
(Bar the obvious listening to it/learning it by heart?)
Every time I look at it I get frightened & look at the other rep
instead!
HELP!
