  • Cheap horn from ebay ($100) and I posted it here so grandma could see what I did with my xmas money. I'm amused that so many strangers watch the thing and give advice.

    I also started playing with transposing the Trumpet (Bb) and F-Horn (F) music (otherwise I have to buy too much stuff). Not as hard as I'd expected.

  • Re: 1 month, I played trumpet (not great) in the school band, so I have played other brass instruments. I was kind of surprised how much harder a French horn is though, a trumpet doesn't want to wander so much. It was also very annoying because I didn't really know if it was an F horn or Bb. (It's Bb with an A stop), so I didn't know what fingering charts to use. (I suppose I could've asked an instructor, but one wasn't convenient).

  • if there is one comment about hand position i doubt he need 20 others. and i doubt he actually reads his comments anyway

  • I read them sometimes 'cause they amuse me ;) And the playing position wasn't ideal (bench and piano to hold music).

  • aesome for one month but on the higher notes you need to change air speed and ambichure a little faster

  • Not bad sound is okay but u need to work on those lip muscles and figurings it's the biggest mistakes here. Im in eighth grade n I don't take private lessons but I'm guessing u do because everything else is good

    Btw where can I get the sheet music for this

  • hey u shud try and fix the way you hold the horn a bit. it helps if u actually hold it at 45 degrees so u can play the higher notes easier. trust me, i always have a hard time playing high notes if i have bad pisition

  • amazing for a month. XD what I can suggest is to correct your hand position, and possibly hold it differently. It's common to want to change the hand position when you start, but you do get used to it. Trust me. All except the sweatiness under stage lights, that's just ew.

  • Hey I also play the French horn for three years and I made All-State and All-Distirict which is a HIGH honor....I would suggest to keep your hand a little out of the bell and again like others have said keep a nataual tone...your doing GREAT!!!!!! ps could I have the notes for that? I would love that!
