Our amazing French horn instructors utilize elements of different teaching methods that work best for each student. Students will start with the fundamentals, such as French horn assembly, breath control, real tones production, finger placement, simple melodies, etc. Intermediate students learn how to play clear sound, perform multiple Major scales, articulation, and an overview of tunes, pieces and songs taught. Advanced and experienced students will develop proficiency in long tones, scales, and vibrato along with learning significant repertoire. Our French horn curriculum covers the following subjects:

• Note reading and recognition

Repertoire

Selecting repertoire is one of the most challenging and important tasks that we take on in the development of our students’ musical education. We work on the repertoire in these categories: etudes and studies, solo works, concertos, variations, etc., and short pieces. Students at all levels will be given a selection of repertoire from multiple eras of music to study and perfect.
