Halloween Frightmares: Stupid Human Tricks
Though somewhat not horn-related, imagine if you could do these tricks in a rehearsal, performance or private lesson:
Conductor: “Horns, you need to watch me more closely!”
OK Maestro…
Teacher: You need to open your mouth a little wider to get those low notes.
How about this?
Teacher: “Your hand is too far out of the bell. You need to put it in further.”
OK teacher – will this work?
Teacher: “You need to get more lip into the mouthpiece. A little more tongue here and here might help with articulation.”
Like this?
Scary.
