    Some time-stamps to help guide our practice:
    0:43 - "Golden Sounds"
    8:24 - "Lips, Mouthpiece. Horn"
    23:33 - "Pitch Bends"
    34:06 - Emptying Water from the Horn
    34:55 - "The Snake"
    46:51 - "High Notes - Interval of the Week"
    I am so very grateful for this resource! I find myself coming back to it every so often when I want to make sure I am continuing to improve the fundamentals of my playing.

    Yes, David!! Would love to see more videos from you!! There is a lot of need for young horn players to learn and develop and they are coming to youtube for the answers. Please feel free to reach out if you ever need anything!

      I second this!! We need more orchestral horn players to show different approaches to warm ups and show that there's not only one way of doing things. Everyone has their own warm up and I think it's good for young players to be exposed to all kinds of knowledge to horn playing. Accessibility is well needed

    Dear, Maestro Cooper
    as a Frank Sinatra impersonator who studied Tuba a long long time ago, I often look to the very Top of Classical Brass playing for touchstones of inspiration, standards of controlling wind-flow...sound, craft, artistry, poetry, invention, ideas, concepts, evaluation, mechanics, algorithms, commonalities, Vision...I have a long way to go to reach my goals certainly... and yet (with today's Critical knowledge accessibility) I really have great Hope moving forward😊 Thank You So Much, for this Wonderful video!!

    • @davidcooperhorn
      @davidcooperhorn  4 года назад

      Hey Drew! Oh no! Sorry to hear that this was tiring! Everything in moderation. If you only want to do one octave, that's fine too, it's all about what feels good to you. I tend to not want to take the mouthpiece on and off the face in between the same note and the next note for consistency to feel the slight change between the different pitches. I do not press hard, simply contain the lip with the mouthpiece. Let me know if this helps!

  • @bernieflores3092
    @bernieflores3092 4 года назад +2

    Hi David, I noticed how you used the F side from G downwards, except for pedal D (not sure) and Eb...I have always wondered what the reasoning behind this. I also noticed this in the playing of other American horn players. To put you in context, I grew out of a culture that sticks mostly to the Bb side. Though I am F side (trained), I have gotten used to the Bb side. However, I recently explored some notes on the F side, like the F#, G, but still trying to justify my effort on switching other middle notes to the F side. Please enlighten me.

      Our cat sort of tolerates it while napping. Out of curiosity, are you spending most of your time on the Alex these days? I recently got one from 1953 and I am staggered at the amazing resonance it has. Much more resonant than my Paxman 70M.

    Just curious why you start with the breath attack exercise instead of “Lips, Mouthpiece, Horn”? LMH seems like a more logical starting point for a warmup. Awesome video though. And thanks for sharing!!

    • @starwarsjunkie7776
      @starwarsjunkie7776 4 года назад

      Isn’t Lips Mouthpiece Horn very advanced, very specific Caruso method stuff? I only know pros who do that, and anyone who says that kids do that is clearly talking about 1%, if that.

    • @michaelsanchez347
      @michaelsanchez347 4 года назад

      They're different approaches. I would highly disagree that it's something that only pros are up to doing but it's true that that's a very Caruso approach. Different people will work best with different approaches. It's not a question of ability
