In American drum corps (and jazz bands), we call all brass instruments horns, and some of us even include woodwinds as horns. I don't believe this is any sort of injustice, because "horn" is the simplest way to say "you blow into this instrument and notes come out the other end." IMO, the euphonium is the most beautiful brass instrument, possibly along with the french horn.
Not gonna lie, I've never heard a British person call the euphonium a horn... and brass banding comes from Britain! Definitely NOT a horn! He plays a besson prestige EUPHONIUM, not a horn! Definitely an injustice, to insult the euphonium so much as to call it a horn :p
Got to meet him and attended a master class of his at Murray State University in Kentucky at an Honor band in '09. He absolutely blew me away, and he is my euphonium idol now.
I never tried to singing words but i can post on one note and sing different things. and You are right, I dislike being called horns. Euphonium does not deserve to be called horn because it is the greatest instrument ever built
fyi, most brass instruments are called horns because of the shape of the bell. just because it's not a french/english horn, doesn't mean it's not a horn.
I play BBb Bass, Euphonium and Baritone Horn, and a Trombone is not a horn, neither is a Euphonium, Bb or Eb Soprano Cornet, just as a Euphonium is a Tenor Tuba. An English Horn is also a wind instrument.
i just referred to the english horn because it has it in the name. and as for the trombone and euphonium and cornet, my music instructor calls them horns because of the quality of sound and the bell. i myself am a level 5 french horn player.
haha, bassoon all the way. =P I remember hearing bassoon solos in my class in grade 11 in high school....OH MY GOD it was the funniest thing we've ever heard. Then again, we only had about 10 people in our class, but still.
I played in a masterclass with this guy. I played Mozart Horn Concerto 4 movement 1 and the first valve slide slid out so i was really out of tune lol
its the same for all brass. The most commonly used method is the tu tu ku, but this sometimes has to be modified in order to fit a specific phrase eg. if you have a relatively high or low jump to the ku. In this situation, the tu tu ku can be changed to a tu ku tu, so that the to can be used on a more difficult note of the phrase.
Also, if a more gentle tongue is needed, the tu tu ku can be softened to a kind of du du gu type of articulation
the most number of notes i have been able to produce simultaneously is 5. 2 from the coin, 1 from singing, 1 from the horn's vibrations, and 1 more from throat reverberations. essentially, i am my own euphonium/trombone quintet
No it isn't. Multiphonics is achieved by singing into the mouthpiece as you play just like a digeridoo player does. Put a coin in your mouthpiece and you will just block the mouthpiece.
I'm afraid that you are incorrect, GBCE. you have to hum or sing into your instrumet (usually sing). I know quite a few musicians that do it, and they all tell me the same. You must sing the interval that you want while still playing/buzzing your original pitch. Just using a coin won't cut it.
multiphonics are fairly easy. But to incorporate them sufficiently, my singing range doesnt go high enough. Once you can harmonize with yourself, it is easy to make duets.

I can do multiphonics just as good as that. I incorporate them into my warmup every day. I have only been able to do it for about 3 months and I can do better, even while talking through it. I do the talking while playing during marching band warmup. Steven stick to what you do best.

multiphonics is accomplished by placing a coin in the mouthpiece, thereby splitting the embrochure into two halves.

dude you are so incorrect, you sing into the mouth piece, it works best when you play low notes and sing a high note! get your facts right.
