Re: [Hornlist] Singing through the horn

[Alan Cole]

Depends on whether you mean (A) playing lyrically or (B) producing that 
weird effect known as double-stopping (i.e., vocalizing one pitch through 
the horn while simultaneously playing a different pitch on the horn).

(A) involves a musical state of mind.

(B) is a stunt that falls into the category of Stupid Brass Tricks.

OK - I've read this a few times, the idea of "singing through the 
horn."  Would someone care to elaborate on this a bit more?  Is this a 
specific technique, or more a matter of state of mind?
