Hans, as he usually does, hit the nail squarely on the head. Knowing what the note is supposed to sound like is the first step, fingering come second. "Solfeggio" is one way to get there. Now for an example from Solfeggio from one of the classic groups of the early 1960s, visit http://www.you

My 1 cent (Amateurs shouldn't get 2 cents). As I got older I realized the less I have to change fingering the less I had to worry about "lip to fingers co-ordination" Joe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Syslo Sent: Saturday, Februa

And, Mark, finally my addition: Using F-Horn C-D-E - open B-(natural)- C# - D# - with 2 AND not with 12 (C#) or 23 (D#). It does not matter, what fingering you teach your young band members, if they do not HEAR the right pitch, - if their ear training is inadequate. Pressing down the rig

In addition to what has already been posted, you can also play the Bb with open fingerings (a slight bit flat) giving you 4 notes in a row open. Though I wouldn't offer that fingering in normal circumstances, many newer students will hit that Bb when trying for the C and think they have the rig

It's really pretty simple. The D is better on 0. When using 1 you are playing a tenth harmonic which is flat. The E on 0 is also a tenth harmonic and tends to be flat but is a better in tune note than is the D with 1. It can be brought up with 1-2 on the F horn. This is where practice

In addition to what everyone else has said, third-space C, which is concert F, can also be played as 1 on an F horn as it's the 9th partial. It might actually be easier to play C-D as 1-open so that you got a shorter tube for the higher note - I just tried it, though, and it feels weird. Open-open

It doesn't matter if you teach that three notes in a row don't have the same fingering. The reality is that they do, and that putting down the first valve to go from C to D doesn't really help getting the note to come out right any more than not putting the first value down. Actually, since you'r
