[Hornlist] Gounod Melodies

[Jill Rogers]

Hi,
  I was wondering if anyone knows if Gounod's Six
Melodies has a piano accompaniment. Let me know if you
are familiar with the piece.

Re: [Hornlist] Looking for good college

[Jill Rogers]

Hi, 
  I have been to two other schools, and I am now at my
third, the University of Denver.  I would HIGHLY
recommend this school.  It's rather expensive, but
they have a plethora of scholarships for music
students.  The orchestra and the Wind Symphony here
are really top-notch.  The horn studio is small, but
all majors (there are 6 of us right now).  Susan
McCullough is the horn teacher here, and she is just
great.  The website for the school is www.du.edu. I
think there is a link for the Lamont school of music
if you go to prospective students. Anyway, I hope that
helps!

 Hi everyone,
 
 I have a student who is a high school senior and not
 sure where he 
 wants to go to college. He is bright and I assume he
 has good grades. 
 He is an advanced player for a high school senior;
 first horn at his 
 school and in the youth orchestra. He will sent
 audition tapes for 
 state honor band and orchestra here in California,
 and I'm sure he'll 
 represent himself well.
 
 He would like to major in horn and study with a
 strong teacher, but 
 doesn't want to go to a conservatory because he
 wants a more rounded 
 education.  I have told him about USC and Rice and
 was wondering what 
 other schools people on the list might recommend. He
 has a lot of 
 potential and I think just about any school would be
 happy to have 
 him.
 
 Thanks in advance for any advice or assistance,
 
 Scott

Re: [Hornlist] Elkhart Conn 8d or Yamaha 667V or Alexander 103

[Jill Rogers]

Hi,
  I currently play and have played for years on a
Yamaha 668.  I love my horn, but a few years back I
was in the market for another one.  I came really
close to buying an Alex 103, but did not because I was
told by my teacher at the time (a well-reputed teacher
at an American conservatory) that I would have a hard
time getting a job in the US with that horn, even
though I sounded great on it. So, I would recommend
that if you plan to stay in the US and this is a horn
that you would like to use professionally that you
stick with a Yamaha (which is closer to playing like
an Alex) or a Conn 8D.  It just really depends on your
preference. I would also take a look at Paxman horns,
if you can afford it.

Good Luck!!!

 I'm trying to decide on which horn I'll be
 purchasing in the near future  and 
 was wondering what all of your opinions are on these
 particular horns. I  
 know they are about as opposite as you can get, but
 I've played on newer Conn  
 8Ds and a Yamaha 867(similar to 667V), and liked how
 they both played. The  
 Yamaha was a free-blowing horn that played very
 nicely I thought. The Conns  
 played well, but I'm interested in trying an older
 Elkhart model to see if there  
 is a bigger difference in the playing
 characteristics. If any of you have had  
 any experience with playing the newer and older 8Ds
 and what their  
 differences are, please write in. I've never played
 an Alexander 103, but I do  know 
 that they are a reputable horn in Europe and the
 sound that the European  horn 
 sections produce using them, is quite
 satisfactory.To give you a little bit  of 
 background info on where I currently stand as a horn
 player, here ya  go: I'm 
 a senior in high school, and will be attending one
 of the major  southeastern 
 universities next year to most likely major in
 music. I  do play principal 
 horn in the local youth orchestra and principal horn
 in the  wind symphony at 
 Sebastian River High School in Sebastian, FL. So
 this horn will  need to last me 
 through my college years and hopefully into my 
 amateur/professional career. 
 Any advice on any horn would be greatly 
 appreciated.   Thanks.  Jason
