I would say the best way to get comfortable with high notes is to play chromatic scales leading up to the highest note you can play comfortably. Do not try to force the note at the expense of your tone (i.e. don’t pinch your embrochure to try and get that note out). Air support is a definite help, and remember that it will get easier the more you practice! Happy to hear that you’re picking the horn up
Well done. I just played that as a horn player for the first time in a concert a few weeks ago. Those upbeats are a killer. You were both great. I have played it several times before on trumpet. That has its' own challenges.
We play sleigh ride every year at our school with the orchestra- my 4th and final year of sleigh ride as a horn player and i still hate it with a passion, lmao. It’s such a chop killer for no reason. You 2 sound amazing though!!
I'm still trying to get my lips accustomed to doing something besides eating, drinking and talking! My Trumpet sounds more like a ticked-off ELEPHANT !!! Good job, y'all. Thanks for videoing it.
No, these are the 1st and 2nd :) The third and fourth are much lower (the fourth playing entirely under the staff and the 3rds highest note being an F on the first space of the stave :) From a fellow horn player :) And as @yourmom3597 said, it is the same in marches, it's highly unlikely for us to get a good part there. Makes me miss being a flute player ngl lol
Does blue eyes have a mute or sum, if so what type
whats the attachment on your horn?
@@xiophine Simple clip on tuner. We used them to tune the entire band and had absolutely nowhere to put them once we were done

Im a beginner french horn player in the 9th grade, but i play 6 other instruments. Do you have any tips for note control and pushing out high notes?

I suspect that the only person who would envy this would be a snare drummer playing Ravel's Bolero.

This has got to be their favourite Christmas song.
It’s not easy not to drag or lag ….you did a very good job. The Christmas bulbs on the reindeer hat make all the difference. 😊

As an introverted percussionist, I can’t love this enough!

Are these 3rd and 4th parts??? ;0000
