How to Stop a Horn DVD


The post a couple days ago about the horn event in Illinois featuring Michael Hatfield reminded me that I had been meaning to note a new DVD that was recently released by the event host Randall Faust. It is titled How to Stop a Horn and would certainly be a product I would recommend to horn teachers and music educators. The topic in general is one of the most important ones for music educators to understand well and is a topic that I always highlight whenever I demonstrate the essentials of the horn. The new DVD is available through the Western Illinois University horn website.

UPDATE: A much more complete review of this product by James Boldin may be found in Horn World.
