(TMEA All-State 2023-2024 #1) Paudert, Etude #88 from "The Blue Book"

Ernst Paudert, Etude #88 from "335 Selected Melodious Progressive Technical Studies for French Horn, Book 1" (aka. "The Blue Book")
TMEA All-State 2023-2024 #1
This is a long one. There are a lot of notes to learn, but within each section of the etude there are similar patterns to execute. Spend time outside of the etude learning your scales and arpeggios so that you'll be set up for these more difficult jumps.
The dotted figures should be practiced in a variety of rhythms and especially should be practiced slurred as well. Try to keep your embouchure as stable as possible as you move through the jumps, although you can see in the video that even I have trouble keeping it perfectly still.
If your articulation is too forceful and punchy you may struggle with accuracy throughout. Take the staccatos with a grain of salt; the notes are short enough already.

Once again I am astounded by your FH skills. As a middle school FH player who's been playing for a year now, it is SO COOL to see someone who has obviously mastered this instrument. I love watching your content. FH is one of the best instruments and when played by the right people it IS the best instrument. Thanks for being an inspiration Scott.

Hey man keep it up keep practicing and if you ever feel tired back it off try focusing on accuracy and tone I would say to use chromatic scales to get your fingers going I've also been playing for 2 years I've won all region I hope you'll be doing all region keep practicing and you'll be good

[@joseblaze2453]

@@BlockBuster681 I quit the horn sadly because I had no transportation to the school that provided the horn lessons since I don't have band in my school we use others schools but I'm glad to hear it man keep it up

I was in class and after finishing all my work i printed out the etudes and searched up specifically Scott leger, only to find out only two of them were up! Then i come home to the third one. I wasnt able to control this but im glad that i was able to give the other two the time then, so i can give this one the time now. What im trying to say is This man is the best and helps so much. Plays VERY well and is sort of an idol to someone half way through highschool. If i make it in region this year, it will be because of this man. Thanks a lot scott, you are a great person and player to look up too! 💙

Thank you so much for posting these every year 🙏it's always been so helpful but especially this year the etudes (mostly 1 & 3) feel ridiculous so it always helps to hear them played well!

[@Joseph-rg5ck]

bro your playing is so beautiful

[@ScottLegerHorn]

Thank you!

[@nickspencer657]

This is probably the best etude #1 I have seen in a while for TMEA

[@GrushMusic]

Hey Scott! Thanks for the study resource! TMEA Region 9 uses these as their region etudes, and this is my first year going over them preparing to audition.

Awesome playing! Would you mind doing an update video on your current recording set up? Would love to hear about your mic placement in the smaller room as well as what you’re using for EQ, compression, reverb, or anything that you’re putting in the sound chain. Thank you so much!

[@chiefquif2286]

Didnt realize till now but this guys actually teaching us this rn in our sectionals 😂

[@AAronSmithFH]

The TMEA stuff is so much harder than the stuff in my area 😂

[@MrGHorf]

Wonderful playing!

[@MrZigzag-em1hs]

Do you have tips for playing high notes fast

[@SilkAnimation]

I remember playing this for my 9th grade region audition a couple months ago. I had to go first and I was super nervous. Somehow I got the very last chair at region and barely made it. If you were in my room though, I would have definitely been cooked.

It’s honestly the easiest one out of the three

[@MarkCsete96]

Rookie question. What determines when to use F or Bb horn for you?

[@BSLyles]

Do you think this years etudes are harder or last years?

[@ScottLegerHorn]

Way harder

[@JankyGolfer]

Would you be willing to do the Louisiana etudes? If you would I’d be more than happy to send you them- high school horn in Louisiana

[@pularis1629]

As a freshmen, I am scared even for the tier 2 split(dunno if anybody else has those now that I’m thinking about it) but ya I’m doomed

[@waltoncummins719]

Can you do this for the ATSSB Etudes?
