But why are the courses soooooo expensive? In Germany the courses are either free or very reasonable :-( I feel so sorry for the young musicians in the UK saddled with huge debt. Music has become available only too upper middle class children and that's sad.....

[@sgpepper123]

it's the same in the United States.

[@MrHestichs]

How much does one of these classes cost to attend?

[@colinhammerton9927]

Great session. I love how Sarah approaches giving advice and encouragement to these amazing young horn players. Loved the 'Four Corners' - a novelty for me.

[@Thomas-pt7kn]

I'm totally in love in the way you give lessons to your students. I played Oboe for a long time but I wish I had a teacher that gives me the same enthusiastic like you...

[@brucekendall52]

Thank you.Love the work you are doing,may it continue.(Sarah,that is).

[@Belfreyite]

Well! If you are going to play "On Ilkley Moor Bah T'At, at least have a few Euphoniums accompanying!!

[@juanpablolondonogiron5918]

i love this woman! very very nice personality

[@IIoveasl10]

Bravo! The last piece was fantastic will all of you horn players with SarahWillis playing wit you.

[@kendallgray6205]

So true, Sarah. These are some special young players. Really exciting to think where horn playing will be when they are in full flower.

[@paulsj9245]

Huh - an outsider asks: What is this special horn sound at 6:14 (and also later in the "Four Corners" performance, 11:57)?

[@matiasnassi]

Hi! Saw your comment and as a hornplayer decided to answer. It is full-stopped note, so you basically cover the hole with your right hand. It raises a pitch half step, so if you are trying to play for example stopped A, you have to play it as A flat. Hope this answered your question!

[@paulsj9245]

Thanks a lot! Now I notice her opening arm movement afterwards, and at 6:50 it's even more obvious. Amazing sound change!

[@rodennis418]

Great tips/instruction through a few videos I've watched. Keep up the great work!

[@sgsmozart]

Horn players can also be musicians? Well, I learned something new today.

[@MNorbert89]

What do you mean? Horn players are musicians...
