If one can sing, one can play!
My head of department in College has been involved in research that shows
that the vocal cords of a Brass player whilst playing do EXACTLY the same
thing as a singer whilst singing.
Fascinating!
Does anyone else sing it mentally and not listen to the horn whi

That's very interesting. Is there anything about that research available
I will email him now to ask!

Why did they have to make Cartman the horn player? I really think it
should have been Stan. A real level headed kid.

hello all-
Ive got some stuff about ear-training, and a question about general music
training vs. practicing.
At my university, ALL music majors are required to take 5 terms (trimesters) of
very intense ear-training, sight singing, and theory and analysis (7 term of
theory actually). I don'
You've answered your own question already - the training you're receiving is
helping you in ways you're aware of, and probably in ways you're not aware
of as well. Trust the people who designed your program, complete it to the
best of your ability, and go out into the world and practice your craft
That's the thing about art isn't it? Truth doesn't have to have anything to
do with the performance. Just play to your audience's particular prejudices
and you come out a winner.

I'm looking at the arrangement for two oboes and piano (Fentone F163),
the one I mentioned a couple of days ago. True, as Herb suggests,
transposing up would create - as we found out on a concurrent thread -
an explosive mixture. But surely as a stand-alone little crowd-pleaser,

Herb,
The original discussion was about piccolo trumpets playing these parts, not
horns transposing to C Alto.
Cheers,

My $0.02 worth is that as a performance major, you should be

the various ear training and analysis is helpful, but if you are

Pitch sense certainly is crucial to horn playing, but the 'feel' (or 'taste'

itself for accurate playing. I rely on it, since I don't have 'stage 3'

I very much understand, why you are puzzled.
Certainly too early for the valved horn, and not much later than the Mozart
concertos, which
display a more advanced usage of the hand horn, than seen in most, if not all,
of the ensemble
horn writing of the time.
