Re: [Hornlist] Attacking Low Notes

You already sound like Hans, so you have nothing to think about but the music, for others it may be a bit more complicated. And what do successful professionals say--"sound like me and you'll be fine"--just as I thought. And of course, experiment in the practice room--not in the performance. Sh

RE: [Hornlist] Attacking Low Notes

What a nonsense blah-blah, sorry. Do you have time enough for these thoughts while playing ? Surely not. Get the right equipment (mouth piece), follow the advice given by successful professionals, play !!! If it is not your ranger, try to improve it. If it still does not work, cultivate the other

Re: [Hornlist] Attacking Low Notes

You can refine most sounds. You cannot refine silence. Try to remember your best sounds. Take the sound of your best note and move it to other notes. Imagine you are Hans, deliver his sound in your mind. Try to imagine that sound quality in the bass tessitura, really concentrate on it when you g

RE: [Hornlist] Attacking Low Notes

Dear Hans and List, I will certainly give a try to the techniques you mentioned, as I am continually working at better attacks, stability and sound quality in the low range. There are times that I must agree it does sound like "farting" so the suggestions can't hurt. Jennie (NOT JENNY!) __

Hi all, Just wanted to clarify the passage in question. I have the music in front of me, and this is the so-called "vodeling" solo - a waltz with some unusual 16th note skips. I can't say where one could obtain the part (it's not in the Thompson edition binder) but it does come up from time

According to my teacher, a basic skill for a horn player is soft entrances from nowhere, on any range, without using the tongue. He insists a lot on exercise n.1 of the Singer book, played in strict metronomic tempo and without tongueing. Boring, but it really helps. -- Daniel Canarutto mathemat

Dont move the jaw that much, that you get tired. Check your mouthpiece if the diameter is not too short, if the bore is wide enough (between 4,5 & 5 mms), if the cup is rather conical & deep enough. -Original Message- From: [EMAI

Hi, I am a begginer at horn. I have always been taught to lower/ drop my jaw to achieve low notes. But now I begin to feel the discomfort of that. I have too much jaw movement when I need to get intervals. It really tires my jaw when the notes goes up and down quickly. Sometimes my jaw is more t
