Can anyone suggest a reading list of books that deal specifically
with 'how=
' to approach practicing the horn, not 'what' to practice?
Michael Hoeltzel devotes a chapter to "The Art of Practicing" in his
"Mastery of the French Horn." He not only discusses effective
practice methods, but also gives you his full transcription of
Mozart's Solfeggio in E flat major K. 393, before breaking it down
into short incipits with a keen eye towards improving phrasing and
mechanics (his suggestions at various points include practicing a
difficult phrase in reverse, or in B flat basso on the F horn side).
The book's published by Schott and distributed widely in North
America (Amazon, etc.) by Hal Leonard.
