Perfect horn lesson thanks

How did you buzz actual notes and not musical void

nothing is off limits for this song

I've watched só many vídeos about embochure. Only you explained the technic of move jaw forward in high registrar. Thank you so much!

Struggling to play high g. high notes are hard 😧

its so hard finding how to do’s on french horn

Hello! I’m having lots of trouble getting myself to actually sing while playing. The best I can do is start singing then play afterwards, but my singing starts to fade after half a second or so. Do you have any tips or advice?

this is phenomenal!

Thanks

Thank you

Thank you

fixe rei

- think I prefer it without words...!

I want to practice at home, but is there a way to make it sound less loud?

Love this!

I think I damaged my lip muscles because I have to play really high notes like a trill on a high Bb and I used to be able to do this easily, now I keep struggling and the note won't come out, just an irritating airy sound. Has this ever happened to you? If yes, how did you fixed it? I really gotta fix this.(I'm 10th grade btw so I didn't mastered yet high notes)

Im inn7th grade and i play baritone and i can play high f is that good

High is ALWAYS harder for me than low

Thanks I think this is helping my low range! 😊

Thank you for this guide, I haven't used it yet but I just played mozart horn concerto 3 movement 3 and it has a trill c to d then grace notes of bb and c. I just had to use the fingerings for it because I didn't have time to learn how to before the performance

Just started to learn horn after playing flute most of my life. But i can't buzz at all. So now I'm afraid I'll never get any good. Not really motivating 😕

Wow this is awesome!

That backwards video makes my head hurt.

😮😮

Thx

Thx

I'm really glad that you posted this video which contains many helpful tips. Thanks! I've been using daily buzzing exercises for myself for 50 years now ever since I was recommended the book 'Cornet Playing' by Norman W. D'Ath and I recommend all my pupils to do some buzzing before they touch the horn. If they do, they never develop embouchure problems. However there are two topics I would urge you to reflect on. The first is the angle of the air. In his book 'A Photographic Study of 40 Virtuoso horn Players' EMBOUCHURES' Farkas shows that the vast majority of players angle the air downwards and increasingly so as they go higher. Gunther Schuller says the exact same thing in his book, 'Horn Technique.' This has also been my experience teaching hundreds of pupils over 5 decades and during my own playing -- the higher the note, the lower the air. Some very fine players even blow vertically downwards towards the chin in the highest range. The mouthpiece is just a funnel. As soon as you blow into it the funnel is full and it doesn't matter from which direction the air is coming. When I am filling bottles of olive oil from the 5L canister I don't have to make sure that I am aiming the oil right through the middle. That's the job of the funnel (mouthpiece). The second topic is the idea that you have to push your jaw forward and blow 'straight' into the horn. This may cause unwanted tension and a tightness of the sound. Angling the air naturally downwards (unless the player has an overbite) means that a softer part of the upper lip is being vibrated creating a softer, more hornlike sound. The jaw should be kept relaxed, especially for flexibility in the low register. Keep up the good work.

Austris - please leave out the super-annoying background music. It really just distracts and doesn't contribute anything useful to the video

Thanks after just a couple minutes of doing long notes I was able to play an high e

which mouthpiece do you use?

I wish the community would not talk about 'speed' of air, when they mean air pressure. As an engineer, this just confuses me. In the low range the air pressure needed is low, but the volume (quantity) is high. this is why you run out quickly and need to take more frequent breaths. In the high range the air pressure needed is high, but it is not high 'speed'. In fact the volume (quantity) of air blown is small, you don't need to take breaths as often. Low range is like fogging a mirror, and high range like blowing out candles on a birthday cake six foot away (2m). It's not speed, it's lung pressure!

Thank you for stating quite early that buzzing is quite a lot heavier than on the mouthpiece! I do not doubt that buzzing can be used in some cases to good effect, but it would probably help to point out that buzzing is not necessary to play a brass instrument, whether with or without a mouthpiece. Some very good brass players, Tine Thing-Helseth and Michael Höltzel to name only two, cannot buzz at all!! It is also good to know that buzzing does not start the vibrations of the air column in the instrument, it is actually the opposite as can be shown very clearly with a flame in front a simple open pipe! (the warming air starts to hum before the vibrations cause the flame to wobble!!) I would like to point out that excessive practice with buzzing will train and tire muscles that one doesn’t use when playing a brass instrument. Before deciding to comment here I tried a little experiment: playing from the lowest possible C on our F-Horn (1st Harmonic) I went up to C“‘ (16th harmonic) pulling the mouthpiece out to see if the mouthpiece was producing a buzz: a faint buzz started a little over the G“ (12th harmonic..) or actually not until the A“ (12th harmonic on G Horn!) BUT, there was also a slight buzzing detectable at my „break“ around G below middle C‘. I buzz or flap my lips when they feel stiff, and used to do it much more! realizing that it is not the buzzing that starts the note has made my playing exponentially more relaxed!!

Wow!

This slaps

Your hard work payed off!🎉

Bravo!!

You were 12 when you already mastered this technique? I'm 16 and I'm barely getting better at slurs💀

This sound like a Synthesized French Horns. Also I hear Percussions.

Thank you for Your choice. Kirby's shape is likely horn😂 I'm proud to be born in Japan. I think that "Green Greens" is good music too, right? Your movie about buzzing exercise is really helpful for me!

Thanks

Amazing job, I play trumpet and the double tonging is difficult for me

when i attempted this, I noticed my throat struggling. When I sing into the horn it's like my throat wants to open up in a way that it normally doesn't when I play the horn. Is this right, or have I been playing the horn wrong all this time? 😅

How do I down load the 1st Horn and 1st trumpet parts?

Radek Baborak definetely has two embrochures! You can see it in his Strauss 1 that is on TH-cam.

Ive got a very specific issue, I can play low range C but I have trouble going up to D and E above it but when i descend I can play them fine. The D and E are very airy and not thick with tone and Im not sure how to fix it. thoughts?

How low can i go with a marching horn in Bb? like the high side of a double horn

Where did you get the sheet music for the trill chart

I love the sound of your horn! What make is it?

Watch your video to see that the image is reversed so it looks like your right hand is on the valves.
