Pottag-Hovey Method for French Horn, Book One Staple Bound – March 1, 1985

Excellent book for beginners. As a horn player/teacher, one of my biggest concerns is technique- too often, beginners develop bad technique habits because they are asked to stretch beyond a comfortable range far too soon. They distort their embouchure to make higher pitches happen, which carries over into their playing in all ranges, resulting in a very thin sound. This book gradually eases the player into higher pitches, allowing the embouchure time to develop/keep up and reducing the likelihood that players will be forced to use improper technique to simply get through exercises.I currently use this book for remedial exercises with high school students, and will be recommending it for beginners in the future.

As descibed. Good.

Great method

Very thorough for beginning.

One star for incorrect listing. This is definitely book 2 and NOT book 1. Still great to have, but not helpful for beginners.

Great for beginners

This is the second volume of the Method, so it would not be of much use for a beginner. The first does not seem to be on Amazon.

He comprad o el book one; se ha descargado, ¡por fin!, el book two. Ruego corregir a la menor tardanza.
