2006-05-15 Thread Adam Watts
My AP Music Theory Class has been using a program called Auralia for ear-training. I'm not sure how much this program costs, but I find it very easy to use (the interface is a bit childish-looking though), and there are many different types of exercises like melodic dictation, chord and progres

This whole discussion reminds me of an article I read on the Stork website about pressure and buzzing sans mouthpiece (found here: http://www.storkcustom.com/html/pressure_buzzing.html). The article seperates horn players into two types: those who employ the "compression aperture control method

In response to Mr. Borton's experience with the Chop Saver balm, I wonder if the product causes any sort of dependancy. A former band director of mine (trumpet player) used to warn us that since he used Carmex so much, his lips now become unbearably dry without it. I'm not sure how prevalent th

While I have rarely seen pieces composed /for/ band that call for French Horn in bass cleff, my school's Wind Symphony has played tons of orchestral arrangements where the fourth, and even third, horns play more than half of the time in bass clef. An example of such a piece would be Carl Orf's

My lesson teacher played trombone as his secondary instrument in college, and he actually advocates trombone as a way to strengthen parts of the horn embochure. Like Mr. Jewell said, though, it is very important to be careful when transitioning between the two in one sitting. I used to play

My old director used to play with the Phantom Regiment, and she told me about the marching horns they used; they looked like beefed up, larger throat and bore sized mellophones, but she said that the partials were all much more consistent than a mellophone and that they were completely different in

I apologize if this has been discussed ad nauseum in this mailing list, but I was unable to find the topic in the archives. I was wondering if anyone knew of a suitable place to buy an arrangement of the Bach Cello Suites as arranged for French Horn, or more specifically the 1st Suite. Or, if a

I used to play jazz bass trombone semi-frequently, and it actually seemed to help my embochure. I also took up jazz tenor and bari somewhat more seriously two years ago and haven't had any sort of major problems. The only thing I've heard about doubling horn and a woodwind instrument is the
