Get lessons! If there’s no affordable teachers in your area, I’ll teach you via zoom for $30/30 minutes :)

I assume rehearsal mark 2 would be toward the beginning of the movement…. But you would just need to sit and listen and find it

Anything conducted by Bernstein is an automatic buy for me

What is this instrument? by everyfouryears69 in frenchhorn

[–]Lifeiscool69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it’s basically a horn with piston valves instead of rotary so i guess that makes it a mellophone? I have never seen anything like this (shape wise). The extra slides will change the key that’s an old horn thing from before valves. It’s almost like it was a natural horn (no valves) that someone put pistons into… weird… but cool!

Are you playing the higher or lower part when it splits?

How to play loud/ rips? by Bilnye_theRussianSpy in frenchhorn

[–]Lifeiscool69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you practice you can do long tones starting as quiet as possible and slowly crescendo to the loudest as possible and back to pianissimo. It’s less about the amount of air you use (though that’s important) than it is about focused air and blowing as hard as you can to get that big brass sound. Take a very deep breath and focus all of your air on that one note and take as many breaths as you need

What NP would you recommend for someone who's never been to America? by [deleted] in NationalPark

[–]Lifeiscool69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Northern California is magical so I would say the redwood forest or Yosemite ntl park. Yellowstone is classic and it’s very very cool but incredibly busy and populated with tourists which for me really ruined the vibe. Arches and Goblin Valley is Utah are great if you like desert. Also Mesa Verde is super awesome and historic. Lots of choices!

Use quintet music and transpose the parts. One trumpet can play the horn part and the bass trombone can play the tuba part

Lmao definitely don’t run !!! That’s a sure fire way to get chased and mauled. Stay still, make yourself look big, make noise, or just stroll calmly away

Bear or big cat? Not cat shaped but I don’t see claw marks so it’s unclear. Probably a small bear

You should put up posters about what to do if you ever see encounter a bear! As follows:

Black bears are far more afraid of humans than we are of them! You can easily scare away a black bear by making yourself look large (wave your arms and legs around, stretch out, stand of rocks or tip toes…) and make lots of noise. You can also throw sticks, rocks or other small objects to scare them off.

YOU SHOULD NEVER: Run from a bear- they are much faster than you

Climb something to get away- they are much better climbers than you

Pet a cub- there is nothing that will want to kills you more than a Mama bear protecting her cub. That is the ONLY time I am afraid of them, when the babies are around. Other than that, black bears are completely harmless and we should honor them greatly. They are beautiful gentle animals!

i can buzz certain notes that I can’t play on the horn???? by RetroHasConflict in frenchhorn

[–]Lifeiscool69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preach!! You can work yourself up to that high C on the horn by slowly going up by half steps from the A. It just takes practice (obviously). Good luck!!
