How I teach Low Horn and the Shoemaker Legato Etude #15--Tips on how I learned to play low horn.

I am performing the Shoemaker Legato Etude #15 and share some tips on how to play low horn. French horn players are needed to play low horn and here's some help! These tips that have worked for many of my students and myself.

Bach Cello Suites anyone? 😀 ... late comer to this series ... wonderful! Horn part for Beauty and The Beast goes from a pedal A up to high B flat. Some gigs, like Broadway charts, demand the full range!

Haley, what approaches do you take with respect to smoothing the “break” area of the range that most horn players have below our written middle C? I returned to playing last year, after a long break, and it’s been difficult for me to make that transition seamless when ascending. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how horn players can work through that. P.S., I never appreciated how awesome low horn playing was until I had a teacher who was a low horn player. Hearing them play Gummi Polka made me a believer!
