So the horn will be sharp, not flat, with all the slides in. Also, there is a way of tuning the horn in sequence, and just saying 'go through the valves until they're in tune' is not it.
Thank you for the tips! I struggle a lot with intonation and tuning, because my french horn is always too sharp. I also struggle with finding a good way to tune my horn because if I tune it in the lower register, then my instrument is very flat in the high register. How could i fix this problem?
How bout Director sets slides prior to first class, build endurance during class allowing students to put slides in same place on their own after emptying and exclusively use ears and embouchure for tuning.

one question, why would the note be flat if all the slides are pushed in? Do you mean sharp?
yeah, i think he mistook it for flat.
Very straight forward and to the point!
That's a Moores School of Music Practice room if I've ever seen one lol. 3rd floor?

You neglected the complimentary horn! That's a whole other creature.
