From opera stars Anna Netrebko and Placido Domingo to jazz legend Wynton, all of Sarah's guests on the program have bravely accepted the Sarah's Music Horn Challenge. Here are some of our absolute favorites!
I'm a trombonist and looking at the french horn the bore is tiny. The mouthpiece has a diameter of about 17.5mm which is only 5mm larger than a trombone with no mouthpiece and playing trombone with no mouthpiece is hard, I tried it once. You guys must have lips of steel.
Ive done that when I feel our pieces in the orchestra is too boring. They say its a good excercise, to get faster fingers on the right as well. How I dont know though
Jesse Nelson I don't know the specifics but if you're having trouble changing intervals/pitches practice lip slurs with all open and down the chromatic. Sing the pitch in your head before you play it
B3T0R4H L!4N0Z push your bottom lip out. It may seem weird but if you can get used to it then you should be fine. If you have the money, buying a larger mouthpiece is also good. I use a schmid size 11 traditional and was able to move from a top c as my top note to a double c on my first practice with it
I'm actually surprised that many conductors can't play the horn. I thought you needed to be able to play every instrument at least a bit to be a conductor because you would need to know specificities and subtleties of the instruments including their range and the weird stuff you can do with them.

lmaooooo Wynton Marsalis got it in 10 seconds as soon as she flicked the B-flat key
I took trumpet lessons with Maxine Fields Knepper. She also taught French Horn. Google her.
i loved this....that was a lot of fun!! and Mr. Marsalis.....go on boy....represent us trumpet players!!!
Wynton just being an undeniable legend.
Wynton Marsalis is a god 😂😂😂
5:48 'a one, a two, a you know what to do!' the coolest counting I've ever heard lol
that breakdancer made me so nervous
I am certainly not a horn player (but I have a 1960's Bb cornet) - Sarah makes it look so easy...very enjoyable 'horn challenge'!!
Good fun that’s what music is about ! 👍
what is that beautiful clip at the intro everytime. I love it.
I feel envy when a complete beginner makes a decent sound.
My university professor told me during brass class to never let my students hear me play horn, and I'm a trombone player. Lol
themusic writer just stick your hand in the bell and miss a bunch of notes
wanton Marsalis played the horn in high school Idk if that should count but it was still amazing nonetheless
shout out to all the french horn players!
How wonderful was this!
I tried a cello one day and it's a LOT different than a string bass.
This makes me so happy
What was the Australian Horn section playing? It was gorgeous
I'd also love to know what the song at the start is. Also loved it.
Sarah Love your ever loving music
As soon as she said top 2 I knew one would be the wynton Marsalis horn challenge
Cheia de charme!!!!! show de bola. Super animada, essa prof.
So nice, human and cheerful!! Well done!
9:56 I just love Sarah!
Lol, I'm an horn player and I'm not sure if I can play those Wynton Marsallis runs that easy lol
Sarah thank you .you made my day.
Such fun
O my, that was so fun!
9:06 This gotta be my favorite rendition of Rule Britannia.
Alan, this is the wrong way round! 😂😂😂
Ivan Fisher!
Wynton you are great!
Wynton for the win!
My vote goes to the kids in the end 11:47
«Dont ask such technical questions»
*IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW*
Maestro Fischer is awesome
Adoro seus vídeos!!! Pena não falar tão bem a sua língua.
Thank you! /ml
Good there was a camera around for the Placido Domingo segment
Wynton Marshalis MY LOVE!!
❤❤❤❤
As a horn player, it is so crazy how much of this becomes second nature.
I'm a trombonist and looking at the french horn the bore is tiny. The mouthpiece has a diameter of about 17.5mm which is only 5mm larger than a trombone with no mouthpiece and playing trombone with no mouthpiece is hard, I tried it once. You guys must have lips of steel.
I honestly don't get how Wynton's fingerings are so fluent playing with the left hand. Does he play trumpet left-handed?
I believe he can play trumpet upside down which inverts the brain synapses to go to the left hand instead of the right hand.
Jazz musicians do some weird stuff for practicing ;)
Ive done that when I feel our pieces in the orchestra is too boring. They say its a good excercise, to get faster fingers on the right as well. How I dont know though
Wynton is left handed and he plays better than all the right-handed player.
I am trying to learn how to play the frecn horn...Why is the octives so sencitive?
Jesse Nelson I don't know the specifics but if you're having trouble changing intervals/pitches practice lip slurs with all open and down the chromatic. Sing the pitch in your head before you play it
I am positive Wynton Marsalis is a god.
This is like Nailed It but for ...horn.
LOL the horses!
What’s the trick for getting the high E
B3T0R4H L!4N0Z push your bottom lip out. It may seem weird but if you can get used to it then you should be fine. If you have the money, buying a larger mouthpiece is also good. I use a schmid size 11 traditional and was able to move from a top c as my top note to a double c on my first practice with it
To get the high e you have to get high on e
I playing that too lol :3
Needs more horn
Somehow nobody’s mentioning how pretty the interviewer is.
SANTA, THE REAL CHAMPION!
7:10 HOLY...
My lips hurt just listening to that
I'm actually surprised that many conductors can't play the horn. I thought you needed to be able to play every instrument at least a bit to be a conductor because you would need to know specificities and subtleties of the instruments including their range and the weird stuff you can do with them.
Winton Marsalys is a god
