Do you want to learn the French Horn? Playing a brass instrument can be enormous fun, but starting an instrument from the very beginning can have quite a steep learning curve.Â
Research is key. Read some French Horn Reviews. Find out what French Horn is going to be best for you personally, and get the very best instrument you can afford to buy.Â
You will also want to decide if you’d like to find a professional teacher or learn by yourself from books and videos. For a brass instrument, we would highly recommend getting a great teacher. Â
The shape and position of your lips, facial muscles, tongue and teeth make a massive difference when playing a brass instrument. The technical term is called the embouchure. It really can be the difference of you actually making a sound – or not… Yes, it’s that important!
Research is great, but be careful about doing too much of it. You could spend days and weeks learning the theory of an instrument, but it doesn’t mean you can actually play it. To be able to do that, you’ll need to put the French Horn to your mouth and actually start blowing!
One of the things to remember about learning an instrument is that it doesn’t matter how talented you are; there are no shortcuts.
