Tim Lautzenheiser
Dre moderna eves rom teh century huring hos. These nsvumentscldnot have
valves, and changed notes by using various “crooks” or tuning slides. Most horn players had to
perform with several crooks that allowed them to play the correct notes,
In 1660, the trompe was introduced in France. This instrument's tubing had 2 1/2 coils, and
retained the nickname “French” horn. However, German instrument makers actually perfected
today's horn. Stélzel and Bluhmel added valves to the horn in 1818, which eliminated the need
for crooks. Rotary valves, introduced in 1853, are commonly found on today's horns. “single”
horns in F have 3 valves, while “double” horns in F/B have 3 valves and a thumb key.
Hors provide an important, full middle voice in the concert band. They blend well with all
instruments, and play solos, melodies and harmonies.
Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler R. Strauss and Wagner are all composers who have featured
horns in their writing, Two famous horn performers are Barry Tuckwell and Philip Farkas,

CORPORATIONTHE BASICS
Posture
Sit on the edge of your chair, and always keep your:
+ Spine straight and tall
+ Shoulders back and relaxed
+ Feet flat on the floor
Breathing & Airstream
Breathing is a natural thing we all do constantly. To discover the correct air-
stream to play your instrument:
+ Place the palm of your hand near your mouth.
+ Inhale deeply through the comers of your mouth, keeping your
shoulders steady. Your waist should expand like a balloon.
+ Slowly whisper "tah" as you gradually exhale air into your palm.
The air you feel is the airstream. It produces sound through the instrument.
Your tongue is like a faucet or valve that releases the airstream,
Producing The Essential Tone
“Buzzing” through the mouthpiece produces your tone. The buzzis a fast
vibration in the center of your lips. Embouchure (ahm bah-shure) is your
mouth's position on the mouthpiece of the instrument. A good embouchure
takes time and effort, so carefully follow these steps for success:
BUZZING
+ Moisten your lips.
+ Bring your lips together as if saying the letter “m."
+ Relax your jaw to separate your upper and lower teeth
+ Forma slightly puckered smile to firm the corners of your mouth.
+ Direct a full airstream through the center of your lips, creating a buzz.
+ Buzz frequently without your mouthpiece.
MOUTHPIECE PLACEMENT
If you are switching from trumpet to horn, note that the horn mouthpiece
placement is nearly the opposite as the trumpet mouthpiece placement.
+ Form your “buzzing” embouchure.
+ Place the mouthpiece approximately 2/3 on the upper lip and
1/3 on the lower lip. Your teacher may suggest a slightly different
mouthpiece placement.
+ Take a full breath through the comers of your mouth.
+ Start your buzz with the syllable “tah.” Buzz through the center of your
lips keeping a steady, even buzz. Your lips provide a cushion for the
mouthpiece.
MOUTHPIECE WORKOUT
Taking Care Of
Your Instrument
Before putting your instrument
back in its case after playing, do
the following:
+ Use the water key to empty
water from the instrument.
Blow air through it. If your
horn does not have a water
key, invert the instrument.
You may also remove the
main tuning slide, invert the
instrument and remove excess
water.
+ Wipe the instrument off with
a clean soft cloth. Return the
instrument to its case.
+ Remove the mouthpiece.
‘Once a week, wash the mouth
piece with warm tap water.
Dry thoroughly.
Horn valves and slides occasionally
need lubricating. Your director
will recommend valve oil and slide
grease, and will help you apply
them when necessary.
Using only the mouthpiece, form your embouchure carefully. Take a deep breath without raising your shoulders.

notes that are preferably played on the "Bb side” of the horn, the B» Horn fingering is shown in addition to the F Hon

to answer or respond to “question” phrases, as in Beethoven's Ode To Joy. Play this melody and listen
to how phrases 2 and 4 give slightly different answers to the same question (phrases 1 and 3).
