[Hornlist] Seashore Test
When I was in Grammar School, my mother wanted me to take violin lessons. To do so I would have to take the Seashore Test. We moved out of town before I could take it. Since then I have always wondered what the Seashore Test was and is it still in use? I have never heard of it since. To heck with the violin. I have been playing the horn since high school in 1939.

RE: [Hornlist] MM programs
When I went to Mannes for my Masters, it was a one-year program although, because I had deficiencies to remedy, it took me two years to do mine. I basically took one or two grad courses each semester and the rest was third and fourth year undergrad work in things like theory and ear-training. I see now, on the Mannes web site, that it says the program is now 2 years so I guess it's changed. -S- > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 5:29 PM > To: horn@music.memphis.edu; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Hornlist] MM programs > > > Hello Everyone, > > I was wondering if anyone knows of a one years MM program > besides Northwestern? > > > > Thank you for your help. > Robert > ___ > post: horn@music.memphis.edu > unsubscribe or set options at > http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/steve%40fridays computer.com > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG - http://www.avg.com > Version: 8.0.175 / Virus Database: 270.9.0/1773 - Release > Date: 11/11/2008 8:59 AM > ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
RE: [Hornlist] MM programs
We have a 30 unit M.M. in music here at the University of Idaho's Lionel Hampton School of Music. That could make a 1-year program if one took 15 credits a semester, which is possible if one does not have a Teaching Assistantship or other responsibilities. However, in all the years I have been on the faculty (since 1984), only one of our students (a very bright composer) actually completed the degree in one year.

RE: [Hornlist] OT: Tuba in Bb or C
I think that's the plan - Dillon Music has their own, Chinese-made, small-size BBb tuba that seems to get a lot of positive comments from people, so _if_ he decides on tuba (the other choice is currently piano), I think that's what we'll do. They sell for $995 and you can't beat that. http://www.dillonmusic.com/HeleoCart/ProductPage/DMB-995.aspx -S- > -Original Message- > From: Brass Arts Unlimited [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 2:35 PM > To: horn@music.memphis.edu > Subject: [Hornlist] OT: Tuba in Bb or C > > Steve, > > Look for a 3/4 sized tuba for your son.

[Hornlist] OT: Tuba in Bb or C
Steve, Look for a 3/4 sized tuba for your son. There are even some models out there with 4 valves, like the Meinl Weston model 11, which is even convertible to a marching bass. Yamaha makes the YBB 103 and 105, but they only have 3 valves (at least I think those are the model numbers.) The Meinl Weston is what my son played until high school. I wanted him to have that 4th valve, but honestly I don't think he ever used it. ;)Euphonium or baritone is a possibility, but not really a good substitute due to mouthpiece and range considerations. I would try to find a good, used 3/4 size BBb tuba until your son is big enough to handle the "real thing". CC is not a good solution, either, because of size and cost. If he's serious, he can move up to a CC in high school and just deal with the change in fingerings for a summer. Kids ought to learn transposition and different fingerings, anyway. -- Regards, Dave Weiner Brass Arts Unlimited Our new mailing address: 1810-A York Road, #182 Lutherville, MD 21093 www.brassarts.com ++(1) (410) 866-1587 ++(1) (443) 730-2464 fax ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: AW: [Hornlist] Atterberg Sonata Op.27 + Brahms
I'm quite prepared to take two horns and a box of crooks if need be, but I'm not sure whether or not the violin concerto parts were intended to be played on natural or valve horns.

[Hornlist] Lift Thine Eyes from Mendelssohn's Elijah - for 3 horns, recorded?
I turned to the last page of my Horner method book and found "Lift thine eyes" from Mendelssohn's "Elijah" - a lovely piece for 3-part women's chorus, if memory serves, scored (and probably transcribed pretty literally, I'm guessing) for 3 French Horns. Has anyone has recorded this as written in the Horner book (or otherwise) for 3 horns? Thanks. -S- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Why not taking two horns for a special program ? We had to take double, descant & tuba to the studio often.
