How to play a french horn (Kelsey Halbert)

I would say that I am somewhat good at playing the French horn. The French horn is one of the most difficult instruments to play. This is due to the close intervals. If you unravel the tubing of a French horn, it is the same length of the tubing of a tuba. This is going to be an instructional post about how to play a Bb major scale. This starts on an f for French horn, since you have to transpose concert pitches. The notes in order are f, g, a, bb (b flat), c, d, and f. The fingerings for these notes are 1st finger for f and b flat, open for g and c, and 1 & 2 for a and d. Obviously, you'll have to know how to read review clef. I'm not going to do a how to post on that. The French horn is an awesome instrument and it sounds really pretty if bff someone plays it well.
