Back in 2011 I compiled a collection titled Ultimate Horn Technique. This book was a hybrid publication, presenting a variety of materials carefully selected (“rescued”) from the classic horn method books of Gallay, Gumpert, Kling, Meifred, and Schantl. These materials filled an important niche in my teaching and were meant to work not only toward scale technique and intonation but also included exercises for multiple tonguing and transposition.
It sold well in that version, if memory serves there were at least four printings done, but with increased printing costs as one motive, and a desire to revise the contents, in 2016 I split the key materials from Ultimate Horn Technique into three PDF publications:
- Horn Scales and Technique Exercises – focused on just the scale and arpeggio exercises from Gallay, Kling, and Meifred, four to six exercises in every major and minor key
- 35 Melodic Etudes – expanded the selection of etudes from Meifred and Schantl
- 38 Intonation Duets for Horns – a set of scale-based intonation duets from Gumpert and Kling
For this second edition of Horn Scales and Technique Exercises, just released and available worldwide in Kindle and print formats, I have brought two of the above back together. The front half of this edition contains the scale and arpeggio exercises, and the second half the intonation duets. In my version of both, the music is only lightly edited in comparison to the original.
This is a practical collection of inventive scale and arpeggio exercises to develop technique and intonation, suited for intermediate to advanced horn students and amateurs, which will help in forming a foundation of great technique.
The original Ultimate Horn Technique sold for $30 a copy! This new edition sells in print for $11.99 and in a Kindle version for $5.99, and again is available worldwide.
