Continuing the series of updated editions, today the focus is on the updated and expanded second edition of The Low Horn Boot Camp. The original edition (2016) clearly was seeing use in the horn world, and with this update there are more Bordogni vocalises, the text is considerably longer,** and there are exercises and more! Affordably priced in print and Kindle versions from Horn Notes Edition.
The Low Horn Boot Camp, second edition
A volume of effective materials for initial low horn study, this expanded second edition includes text on low range development and a special edition of the classic Bordogni Vocalises. This version is based on a 19th century vocal edition by Ferdinand Gumbert, presented in low treble clef and low bass clef. The low bass clef version is a fourth lower than that widely used on the trombone, with the low treble clef version providing a logical stepping stone toward developing the lowest range of the horn.
Check out this book! These really are effective materials for low horn study.
**Students of mine will know, sometimes I have referred to my “big book” project. It was planned to be sort of an ultra Farkas book (at one point the working title was Beyond Farkas), which has gone through a number of drafts over more than ten years. As of now, that project is officially abandoned — and the new low horn text and exercises in this new edition are from that project. Some elements were incorporated into all the new editions actually.
