Continuing a new podcast series aimed at filling the void created by all the recent workshop cancellations due to the coronavirus situation (surely there will be more cancellations? Will some go online?), the next installment is on playing the natural horn.
In episode 40 of the Horn Notes Podcast, I introduce the natural horn, with an overview of the basic playing techniques, and more. You can listen on any platform you like to hear podcasts on, or go to this link directly:
The book I point to in reference is my recently updated publication Playing Natural Horn Today. It is available on Amazon as a print book or in Kindle format, and I can‘t tell you why – I really do not know why – but it has been leading my recent sales rather definitively. If you are out there recommending it to your students or friends, thank you! If you are looking for a project now, natural horn is a great one, and I believe this publication is a very clear introduction to the instrument. For more on this book see:
- Available now: Playing Natural Horn Today, second edition
- Playing Natural Horn Today, a new method for natural horn
By the way, the 2012 video linked from the second link above has over 16,000 views, which is also an indication that there is some interest in the topic, always a good one for a horn workshop.
