I would like to ask some questions:
1. Is it easier for the young player to start with Bb-horn, or is it just easier for
the teacher´s ears? There are so many good teachers who like to talk about music and
they don´t listen scales and transpositions because it get´s quite boring. The young
Sorry, I didn't mention that I use alternate fingers galore on the B-side to
eliminate almost all cross fingerings.
I use an alternate fingering of T2 and T1 for the ending section. Admittedly,
at first it sounded terrible, but with a little elbow grease, it sounds no
different from playing it

While I bow to no one in my respect for Han's knowledge and artistry, I have

Just read your post about Geyer and how he cut bells.

I suggest working with his embouchure a bit first. Square things up
and get support of the rim on the lower lip; keep the upper lip more
relaxed. Make sure he has a formant 'M shape. Second, work with
the air stream and the buzz or basic easy sound. Get him to slow the
air stream

Trumpet embouchure is not bad, i fit is a real trumpet embouchure. It

the lip opening must be appropriate. This is the dilemma for the noise

There is a piece by Florent Schmitt named Lied et Scherzo for Solo Horn w:

2 Clar. in Bb

Its a little larger than a woodwind quintet but
the piece is a real nice number for solo horn and double woodwind quintet.
