Websites for Horn Players

[ejohnson]

Here are the Websites I use the most:

http://www.hornmatters.com or http://hornmatters.com All kinds of articles on Horn playing and great links to other sites. Monitored by John Q. Erickson, the Horn guy at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ

http://www.youtube.com/user/ohsteacher This an amazing group of recordings done by the Horn guy at the University of Utah. His goal is to create a library of recorded Horn literature. It shows his playing up close enough that you can see where he uses the F and Bb fingerings in various passages. The orchestral parts are done using various pre-recorded and computer generated accompaniments. Even after years of playing some of these things, I learned new stuff.

http://www.hornsociety.org The International Horn Society. Parts of the website do require a membership for use.

http://www.uiowa.edu/~somhorn University of Iowa Horn Studio

http://www.wendellworld.com Wendell Rider's website, including his book Real World Horn Playing Now the required reading text in the University of Iowa Horn studio.

http://www.hornsaplenty.com From Jolly Ol' England a site of Horns for sale and links to companies like Paxman, (Englands great custom Horn makers)

http://www.osmun.com "The" Boston area Horn repair shop. This is where I sent my Horn to have the valves re-plated.
