@@AmyRuby it does and you can't hear the horns;-; there's like 6 and there's only me and my friend who plays French horn you can barely hear me even when I have the melody
@@Sous4m4n As much as people like to claim the instrument they play is the hardest, the horn is the MOST difficult to play in the brass family. Even google says so, look up the top most difficult instruments to play and the horn is right up there with the violin. You have to play through sometimes 22-30 ft of tubing (depends what horn you have... single, double... etc.) and it's also the smallest mouthpiece which makes your embouchure SO important. Most brass instruments do not require you to fully depend on your chops, but the horn is ALWAYS relying on your embouchure. Yes, all brass instruments do, but not to the extent the horn does. Why do you think even professionals have fracks and that so many people quit the horn? Because it's very difficult. Not to mention tuning is a whole circus in itself... should I tune with this slide, this one? The bell? Hand further in or out? Not to mention how awkward it is to even hold the horn while playing, as the bell faces behind you, we sometimes have to use panels behind us to reflect the sound back to the front. And as you rest your hand inside the bell, the only thing holding your instrument up is your left hand which plays the keys (so it cramps easily) and your bell is resting on your leg which can sometimes slide if you're not wearing shorts or a skirt. And no, you can't just grab the bell and hold onto it, or else the tuning will sound bad and you'd be holding it incorrectly. Just a SINGLE movement in the bell and you could be completely out of tune, so you are always tuning with your hand, more than any other brass instrument, especially with the 20+ ft of tubing. It also has the WIDEST range out of all the brass instruments. Which is why parts for horns can go from playing high parts like the trumpets or very low parts like the tuba. Not to mention the amount of breath control you need for it is insane. It's always shocking to me just how easy it is to play the mellophone for marching band or the trumpet fo jazz band... the crazy lack of embouchure I need for the euphonium, and the easiness of the cornet and flugal... everytime I play other brass instruments I'm like "How can it be this easy??" But it just is, and it's a nice break, but playing the horn is also very rewarding in itself. People are always saying how hornists are always fracking notes or playing incorrectly... you don't hear those problems with other brass instruments as much, right? That's cause the horn is actually very hard to play lol Look anywhere online, the horn is always top 3 for most difficult instrument to play. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D6amB-tnzpk.htmlsi=UH06WFkPpkz1ioiK Look at this to see how ahem special the horn is compared to all the brass instruments.
I play French horn of course people forget that I exist. True story, band director didn’t have one for years so I had no extra sectional rehearsal placement and got to sit wherever.
Saxophone part is true Underrated is true Need to play louder is true No recognition is true Puddle of spit is very gross but true As a French horn this was all just facts
The saxophone thing is so true that I rewrote the part for sleigh ride this year to mix in some of the actually decent saxophone parts because it wouldn't be anything new.
I was the only French horn player in my middle school able to play out of the French horns octave scale😂 I have played French horn since 2016 I’m thinking about getting back into it
I play french horn, of course judges ask if my band has french horns there are 4 of us and we horrifically underplay and my band horrifically overplays as we were told 🙅♀️🙅♀️
i know how to play the french horn, but my band director just lets me play mellophone the entire year instead of switching between marching and concert seasons
Me and my band director both play French Horn, of course I still don't get proper recognition or proper time Also almost everything else in this video is accurate
