Professional Tone
French Horn tone quality (professionals only please)?
I am an experienced horn player, currently working on a music education degree in college but wish to pursue a professional horn career when I’m done with my bachelor’s degree. Recently my tone has become somewhat bright and airy. I’m not sure what the problem is because I haven’t changed anything in my playing. I haven’t found much information on how to go about improving tone quality. If any pro horn player could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. If it helps any to answer my question I prefer Dennis Brain’s tone over any other horn player I’ve ever listened to. So in a perfect world I would like my tone to sound like his.
The best thing to do is to play long tones and play looking into a full length mirror. You are already on your way to developing better tone because you are listening to extremely talented French Horn players. This will allow you to listen and hear what a good French Horn sounds like. Since you are in college, I am assuming that you have a decent horn. Try playing consistent long tones and work on breath support. All of this should help. Also, by looking in a mirror, you can see how your posture is and so forth. I hope that this helps!
