I played the 6th part of the Mahler. Which I must say is the best part:-)
Lip preparation, I have always noticed that taking time out in your practice
session to do long tones really helps. I believe those will prepare your
lip for what's to come, because this symphony does take a lot of horn
Hans is right. I do that too. When I panic about a difficult passage
coming up, I fumble fingerings like you wouldn't believe, and every now and
then, I have to fake it. When you panic, all your thought process is not
there. Even fingerings. So by the time you come to that passage, there is
Mr. West read my problems:-) I do get panicy when I am sight reading and I
see a difficult passage coming up. I have no problem with hearing and
nailing pitches, because that's one of the many advantages of perfect pitch.
It's just that when a complicated rhythm or a note that has either doub
I play slightly off center because of one of my front teeth. One of my
teeth grew at a slight angle, and I know that has an effect on where the
placement of my mouthpiece is. I play great even for being off centered. I
was told that there was nothing wrong with it, as long as you played well.
Thank you all for your advice and thoughts. I took one lesson with Richard
Todd, who has been a student and close friend of Vince de Rosa and I was
hooked. Richard Todd is directing the horn ensemble at USC and I would love
to have him as a teacher. He only has a bachelor's degree in performa
I am a huge fan of film music. I listen to it on the way to school, on the
way to class all the time. Just last year, I met a jazz hornist named
Richard Todd, who just happens to also be a film horn player. He has played
for movies like Independence Day, both MIB movies, Spider Man, and lots
Me too. I can't begin to tell you just how frustrating it is to get a trill
up to descent speed. Let me know about that powered wig too.

There is nothing crazy about having a tatoo of something that you love to do
daily. I am seriously considering getting a french horn tatoo myself. I am
currently looking around to spot a good one. I have some kind of old, round
scar on my right arm, so I think that's where I will have the tat

on't mean to use the Classical, Romantic, Modern, French has a mold, but
the
idea is to play things of contrasting style. That is, I would save your
Ultra-Sleezy-All-Bozza-Recital for later.

I am not sure if anyone recieved my email about recital suggestions for my
senior recital that I will be putting on late in the fall. I had a junior
recital last year and it was excellent, according to my professor. I played
Hindemith's horn sonata, the beethoven sonata and Intermezzo by Glier
I can't really give advice about tuning to the orchestra, because I know
first hand that the orchestra pitch can be horribly out of tune. I have
perfect pitch, so I have an advantage in that area.

Howdy. I will be starting my last year as an undergraduate in the fall, and
I want to have a recital that will stick to the minds of my teachers and
friends. Last year, I performed my junior recital. I am getting a bachelor
of arts degree in Music. I did not have to do this recital to gradua
Exactly. I find it hard to believe that any brass player can practice for 5
to 8 hours a day. You can't possibly have a life doing that all day. I
agree with you. 3 hours maximum with a few breaks during the practice. I'm
all about that. What I don't get accomplished in 3 hours can wait un
I agree that practicing 5 hours is too much. I come from Texas and I have
heard stories of brass players with the horn to their faces for 7 to 8 hours
a day. I know for a fact that is too much. I have learned that you don't
ever want to over do it when practicing. I usually do 3 hours, maxim
