Marc,
I have always liked the Belwin Student Method (the green book) and if you can
find it the old Universal Method for French Horn.
One book which I absolutely believe in is Primary Studies for French Horn by
Anton Horner. This is NOT a beginner book but rather a good method for
students switching to horn from trumpet etc or for students who have progressed
through the beginning material (also very good for serious older students who
can progress quickly)

Hello All,
I am starting a doctoral teaching fellowship at the University
of
Illinois, and as a part of my fellowship I am responsible for teaching
horn methods to music education majors. I have thought up an assignment
for my class that will require the students become familiar with several
beginner method books. My question to the horn list community is what
are some great beginner method books that I might not be familiar with
and I should check out. When I was a young horn player I was brought up
through the old Rubank method books for band, as well as Essential
Elements and Standard of Excellence. Throughout my private teaching I
have come across another great book, the Boosey Brass Method. What might
be some other books that some of you all might use and I should
incorporate into my class? I appreciate any feedback you might have.
Thank you,
Marc Zyla
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
