What size mouthpiece for a French horn?

There is no right or wrong size to play on. The smaller the number the bigger the mouthpiece, the bigger the sound, though some people can get a great sound on a small mouthpiece. To find the right mouthpiece for you, you really just need to try. A LOT. See what SOUNDS best, not feels best. You'll get used to the way it feels.


What is the vibrations that create sound in brass instruments come from?

No - there are no reeds at all in what are called the "brass instruments". The distinguishing feature of this group is that the sound is made by vibrating your lips on the mouthpiece, inviting the column of air in the instrument body to vibrate in sympathy with your lips. The air column amplifies the small movements of air your lips make - as you find out if you stand next to a trumpeter. I used to share a room with a trombonist, and know....! The fact that the instruments are usually made of brass is really neither here nor there in terms of how this "family" works, so it's not really an ideal name for the family.... Instruments in a "silver" band work just the same, but tend to have a slightly sweeter sound.

How are notes made with brass instrument?

For most brass instruments, a sound is produced from combining a mouthpiece on which one "buzzes" and a horn which multiplies the sound. In order to create a buzz you may want to lick your lips then push them together gently and force air out. If it vibrates without an instrument try making that same sound on the mouthpiece. Once you can make a humming noise off of just the mouthpiece, add the remainder of the horn and continue buzzing your lips. You may feel the muscles around your mouth tense up but as you get used to it you will also gain endurance. If you can produce a sound with just the mouthpiece but it doesn't work when you add the horn, lightly lightly twist the valves until they click. DO NOT force them to turn. This will only be needed if the valves have recently been oiled.


How do you not squeak on the tenor sax?

The clarinet has a reed in its' mouthpiece to generate its' sound. You must learn to place your tongue on it as you blow to start the sound. The buttons on the instrument open and close the holes to make notes. That is how sound is made, music is a different matter. Also, keeping the corners of your mouth shut like a drawstring bag around the mouthpiece also helps. It might need getting used to, the feel of the vibration of the reed in your mouth, and the feel of the mouthpiece, which can get tiring. But practice makes perfect. (Even though it might kill your lips :)
