If you hold the French horn to your mouth, the valves will be facing the right side of the room. See the opening at the end? Put your right hand in it and flatten it and put it on one of the walls. Put your left hand on the valves. That is how you hold a French horn

No. A marching french horn, also called a mellophone, has a shape more like a trumpet with a large bell facing forward. A "regular" french horn has the bell facing backwards. You use your left hand to play the french horn and your right hand to play the mellophone. Fingering also changes to that identical to a trumpet, or a B-flat Horn (the E's and D's are fingered differently). Some mellophones are made to be used with a trumpet (cornet) mouthpiece, but there are adapters you can use to use your horn mouthpiece.
