It is hard to explain over the internet, but I'll try. When you put your lips onto the French Horn you want 1/3 of it covering your bottom lip and 2/3 covering your top lip then simply blow a raspberry into the mouth piece.

How do you play the french horn?

You place your lips on the mouthpiece, make sure your lips are tighter at the corners. Just blow into the mouthpiece. If your a natural like me, your lips will do all the work, but if your not, all you have to do is try making your lips vibrate. It sounds harder than it really is, trust me. Now your going to want to place your hand in the bell, but not to far in or the sound will get distorted. When you play higher notes, you're going to want to tighten your lips, and push out as much air as you can. When you play lower notes, you're going to want to loosen your lips so your lips are free to vibrate into the lower range. You will notice that a popping sound will come from the bell every now and then. This is because of spit build up. If your French Horn comes with a spit valve, use that. But if your French Horn, like mine, doesn't come with a spit valve, take out your mouth piece, tip the French Horn over and the spit will come out the hole where you place the mouth piece. That should do it :] it will come don't worry:-)
