A Sheet music and CD Release
Opus 158
Accuracy Studies for the French Hornist
Released: C. 2011
 CD Tour |
Program Notes:
I Started accuracy studies for the beginning student, and quickly jumped to the studies my own students needed: moderately difficult intervals in a training session that should help the student jump ahead past the problems of hearing the tones (pitches) and intervals.
These studies are design so the student can do a little each day, track-by-track, page-by-page or a whole hour regiment. It might be nice to have a CD player with a repeat function to begin with.
The pages are written so the student reads to bottom line, while they listen to me on the CD playing so they can repeat what I did. These studies cover a wide variety of articulations. And have the starting points of middle C E, Lower G and upper Bb. I did not present a fifth section for low horn. Low horn is quite important and I hope to address it in further publications.
I plotted out the all the possibilities of three different tones within one octave, and presented them in a simple pattern, then at the end mixed the up as tests. The advance student should find profit in the whole set. I was very carful to be tuned at A=440 and tried to keep my articulation precise.

I sold quite a few of these when I had a sales table at the International Horn Society Symposium
One teacher wrote back and ordered copies for all his students and wrote a very nice testamonial:
Hi
I just wanted to let you know that the books arrived in the mail yesterday. I'm really excited to start more of my students on them. I've had a lot of success with the one student I've used it with so far. After just a short time with the book, her accuracy is better. Not only that but she sounds a lot better too. Playing along with the CD gives her a concept of tone. After playing along with the CD, she is able to relax while she plays and she sounds better as a result. Most importantly- the tone benefits seem subliminal- she plays along with the CD, getting the "taste of each note" while subconsciously mimicking the tone she hears. Your book seems to kill the tone bird with the same stone as the accuracy bird. I don't know what kind of thing you would like me to write as a testimonial for your site. Do you have any specific length in mind? Please let me know and I'll be happy to write it!
