I am fixing to be in middle school and the band instructor said I was good at playing it when I was trying all the instruments and now that I have watched this it looks really hard!!

i play both trumpet and french horn. I think horn is way harder to play.

Hey! I used to play euphonium for my skul's wind orchestra! And i recently picked up french horn as my instrument as there are lacking french horn players! So yea...do u think i cn gt used to do embouchure within 2 or 3 months as my comp is quite near! Btw on my first trial i could hit till the treble clef space C note!

@DoTaNeWb1247 It's not hard at all! I used to play Trumpet and now I'm playing horn. The only thing is that it takes a bit to get used to the different fingerings, and the way you place your mouth.

@96brazil Same here! I've been playing violin for 6 years, and I've wanted to play french horn forever. We are a really small school, and our band doesn't even have a french horn player. Come to think of it, I'm just about the only violinist too... ;)
