step 1) remove the 1st finger Fside slide during the break before the high
entrance
2)* buzz* the high Bb on the Fside one beat before the entrance .
3) without stopping the buzz ' press the thumb trigger . your entrance is
going to be just perfect .

I'm going to suggest yet another interpretation:
The troublemaker is male, Mara is a female who has superior experience and
playing ability.
So maybe his problem is the bruised ego of a guy who feels dimished when he

Hi Mara,
I really like Orlando's idea. Even if this meatball's name is Luca Brazzi,
look what the Tataglia family did to him with the ice pick and piano

Dear Steve,
Thanks - couple of good resources. The answer to your question, is that the

The solution I use on the entrance of the high B flat in the first horn part in
the second movement is a trick I learned from Louis Stout. Remove the 1st valve
slide on the F horn side. The clarinet plays a slow descending scale High E

I have to agree with Dr. McGale. I have just recently given the

that everytime you hold the horn you are not only representing
yourself, but your section, your teacher, your studio, your

One must intimidate first, I guess. Besides, the ice pick and piano wire is a
bit too "Italian". (unless this kid's name is Luca). I would bet Hans has a

Believe it or not, If college students actually did what you suggest, they
would, at least in my state, be sent to prison, as "hazing" as we call it, is a
criminal offense. No Hans, we would rather drug them then humiliate them.

Hi Mara and Karen,
I sent out the following link to my horn students (and student brass quintet
members) at the university where I teach at the beginning of the school
year, and said it was important to read and digest. It is to the section on

While I understand the concept here, I'm not sure that's the best solution.
I certainly wouldn't want any negative stigma associated with playing 4th

Davids "switch 2nd & 4rth was not meant as a punishment for
the nasty player, but just dislocate him from the seat next

One of the things that will work is to make less mistakes. I'm not saying that
