Hello Rachel, this is really important, but more, it is
important to know that playing in pitch is a "floating
task". Why ? Our brass instruments, also the woodwinds are
not tuned in a "metric" system but an "acoustical" system
where the halfsteps are not equal. So we have to listen with
whom we a

I got in big trouble with music theory because I 'could' hear the chors and
MISSPELLED them as many chords SOUND the same but LOOK different. I did not
believe this for a few years until my teacher sat me down and explained that I
must not 'listen' to the chords; only spell
Kendall and Hornfolks:
The problems are definitely academic. Witness the plethora of misspelled
'professional' signs on businesses. This is not to mention the mis-usage of
grammar.
I cannot state a firm opinion of musical illieracy except for one thing: the
usage of 'electronic tuning boxes'
Hornfolks
I 'hear' in advance; much like a sentence what I must play in advance in order
that I may plan the phrasing.
When transposing; I hear the correct pitches as well although I must do a bit
of maneuvering at times to 'get it'. There are some transpositions that I just
get instantly. S
Hornfolks:
As I stated to a lister (twice) offline, centuries of hornists have done the
deed using their own precious ears. And they have done just fine.
What I have a serious issue with are the 'tuning boxes'. They are not only NOT
in tune with each OTHER; they are a crutch to the hearing mu

Excellent advice Hans: yes one often does have to tune the horn 'on the fly' as
it were.

Dear list,
I am currently in the market for an Alex triple. I have a 103 and a 107
and I adore them both. Would a 301 be the best of both worlds or would
the tried and tested 310 be the better investment? Has anyone had
experience with both and could give me advice?
Thanks,

Hi Russ,
Yes, Jon is a pleasure to work with. He is always impeccably prepared and is an
absolute rock in performance. He is also a gentleman as well as a fine player.
Regarding his equipment, he mostly plays on a double horn made in Canada by

That's a good thing to remember when teaching horn lessons too. Introduce
the sound before introducing the notation. Especially for younger kids, it's
the most efficient way to cause learning to occur!

This may seem like an odd suggestion, but try some practicing with earplugs
in. It makes it very easy to hear what you're doing with tongueing.
