French Horn

Yes, it can. In most big bands, they are not commonly used. But in many jazz bands, there is a french horn section of three or four players. Giovanni Hoffer is a well known jazz french horn player. It might have more to do however with the quality of the musician than on the selection of instruments.

Either men or women can play the French Horn, and both do. There is nothing about a person's gender that makes them a better or worse French Horn player (that goes for all musical instruments).

Of those two choices, the horn is the higher-pitched instrument.

nope

A flute's range is higher than that of a cello, French horn, or tympani.

No. Its a single tone brass instruments

Of course, but it depends on what the music is you are playing. Your question needs to be more clear!

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:-)

It is called a shofar.

Most notably, Far Horizons has a horn call at the very beginning of the song. There may be others, but this is the only one I know of.

Any music I can convert and play because i get the music sound as notes. So no point of converting is required. I learnt Indian classical in violin, our traditional music learner understand any music tone as notes.

Somewhere in between the two, but it's typically used in place of the horn.

Two, as far as i know. the first was written quite early in his career, and the second around 1945. Both are quite commonly played, but fairly challenging, particularly the second.

A trumpet is a perfect fifth (P5) higher than a horn. Another way to say it is that there's 7 half-steps in-between them.

For example, if you wanted the trumpet pitch for the horn's G, you would go G-A-B-C-D or G-G#-A-A#(Bb)-C-C#-D.

Hope this helps!!

You may need to transpose up or down if you have singers accompanying you.

In an orchestra, the horns are in the back usually.

Sometimes orchestras have 5 horns instead of 4, where the 5th person is the assistant principal. That player covers some of the 1st part so the principal player can stay fresh for solos.

Mellophone has a concert B flat note tuned to F. Besides mellophone, the trumpet or fluglehorn are the closest.

nothing really just ask ur music teacher and if u dont have one at ur school then just go on: http://www.nyerepair.com/html/french_horn_stringing.html Its really easy once you learn how to do it. nothing really just ask ur music teacher and if u dont have one at ur school then just go on: http://www.nyerepair.com/html/french_horn_stringing.html Its really easy once you learn how to do it.

Unlike other things, you can. This question is a bit silly.

If you have a single horn, it's fingers 1 and 2 for A natural, and fingers 2 and 3 for A flat. If you have a double horn, you can add the thumb key to open the B flat side of the horn.

It is considered a brass instrument because of its buzz-style mouthpiece

Normally, then hand is slightly cupped and the side of the index finger and the thumb are touching the bell, holding the instrument up. When the piece of music calls for a special sound, horn players can adjust the position of their hand to allow a half step change in the pitch. There are also times when horn players raise the entire instrument, holding the bell from the outside, to allow a louder/ blasting sound. In addition, there are also different mutes that creates different quality of sounds when needed for special parts of (usually orchestral) music.

An F horn, also known as a French horn or just a horn, is a brass wind instrument consisting of around 13 feet of metal tubing coiled up into a circular shape with a very large bell and 3 rotary valves, though some have a fourth key that acts as a bass key, which would make it a double horn. As the name suggests, it plays in the key of F, with it's concert Bb scale starting on F, and it's the only brass instrument played with the left hand. It can be played in both brass and woodwind groups, even though it is a brass instrument. It's arguably the hardest instrument to play in an orchestra.

I'm a horn player myself and I love the beautiful sound of this instrument! Hope this helps!

Part of the reason is that it's an efficient shape, in that it's relatively compact. The other reason is that one aspect of playing it involves hand position inside the bell, which wouldn't work if the bell was facing front.
