[Hornlist] Young professionals
Who are the people who have recieved their Bachelor's or Master's degrees since 1995 or so who have won jobs, where and with whom did they study, and how old were they when they got their first and current gig? Also, who has won solo competitions on horn within the last decade who was under 30, and where and with whom did they study? Grad schools are lurking around the corner, and I need help narrowing down the number of schools i'd like to visit and the number of teachers I'd like to meet and try out, and I'm goign about it by finding how where and who tends to make more successful horn players. Thanks a bunch, Kurtis test'; "> __ Yahoo!

[Hornlist] Re: Kurka - Ballade
Consulting the Dalley Horn Catalogue - CD ROM, the Kurks Ballad was published by Weintraub Music Company, New York City. Published in an edition for horn and piano. I suspect the music is out of print when Weintraub was acquired by G. Schirmer, Inc. I have the piece and rate a grade V on a scale of I to IX, It is in C Major. And it has some difficult skips, trills, etc. It is 6' and 30" in length. A copy resides in the New York Public Library. The call number is *MYR. Regards.

I didn't remember anything at all about the piece, but I thought I had it in a file cabinet, so I looked. There's a reason I put it in the file cabinet 20 years ago and haven't had it out since. It was originally published by Weintraub Music (thanks, Nielen Dalley!) which is now printed by Schirmer, which is distributed by Hal Leonard. If it's not in H-L's catalogue, it's not available, basically. The Dalley Horn Cat. lists it at $8.95 through Weintraub, but I cannot find an alternate source for Weintraub.

Unidiomatic, awkward and difficult horn writing. One phrase is twelve measures of adagio 2/4, alternating b2 and c3 eighth notes, stacatto and pp; stopped g (below middle c) several times; three octave 16th note slurs... you get the idea. Not a lot of fun or very rewarding to play, IMO.

[Hornlist] Re: Music Scale Cards
Our scale card decks can be used in two ways: as a regular deck of cards and/or as a way to practice playing scales. (They are not flash cards.) Shuffling and picking a card is actually more random than playing chromatically. The goal is to learn each scale independently, not in order (as would come from chromatic or starting at c). The deck is small enough to fit in most musical instrument cases and so can go easily where the musician goes: to class, to a concert, to the practice hall, on a bus to a gig. Certainly anybody can write the names of scales on slips of paper and draw one out; however we have found that most people don't take the time to do so and if they do, they don't tend to be as easy to keep track of or as mobile as a deck of cards. So far, people think they're just plain fun and it makes a perfect stocking stuffer.

[Hornlist] RE: More air enigma
Larry J wrote The right air flow and air pressure, for a particular note and loudness, is determined by mentally focusing on the standing wave and making the standing wave as resonant as you can. Like learning to ride a bicycle, you have to learn the balance of the process and get the "feel" for the "ride" of playing the note. If you keep falling over as you practice, you might consider sitting, even though it will degrade the standing wave. If falling persists, you might consider attaching training wheels to your horn. gotta go, Cabbage ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] RE: More air enigma + buzzing
Another way to look at the air support issue is to focus (while playing) on the standing sound wave that is occurring in the horn. In this view, air support is the flow of energy that excites the standing wave in the horn. The beautiful tone results from fine tuning the right air volume and right air pressure to excite and support a resonant standing wave. Lip buzzing and air support are really unified when playing the horn to produce a vibrant tone. Separating the components of buzzing and air support, I think, is taking one away from a unified understanding of the dynamics of playing horn. Buzzing with a standing wave feels much different than buzzing without the horn. The buzzing lips support the standing wave and the standing wave interacts with the lips synergistically. The interaction of the buzzing lips with the standing wave is missing in buzzing exercise away from the horn, hence, one reason why there are detractors to the practice of buzzing away from the horn. The right air flow and air pressure, for a particular note and loudness, is determined by mentally focusing on the standing wave and making the standing wave as resonant as you can. Like learning to ride a bicycle, you have to learn the balance of the process and get the "feel" for the "ride" of playing the note. Maybe someone else can describe this process better. The point here is to link air support to: a) buzzing, and b) the horn's standing wave. __ Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs.
