subject: [Hornlist] B-flat or F fingerings in the low register
With the recent activity on the list, I'm a little scared to post
but here
goes...
Hornists,
Will some of you please discuss your rationale for
fingerings in
the Low C#- F register? I know there are no absolutes, but I was
taught to
primarily use B-flat fingerings in that register. Some of my
students were
taught very strongly before NOT to use trigger in that register.
Is it best
to combine and generally use trigger for the C# and D, with no
trigger on
the E-flat, E and F? These students are 6th- 12th grade and
primarily use
these fingerings in the context of scales. I'd like to give them a
general
rule of thumb, and then deal with exceptions as they arise. Your
input with
your reasons why would help me a lot. Thanks for your previous
posts on the
Giardinelli C10's.
Thanks,
Beth Duhon
Hi,
Check out my website on the Samples and Ordering page for my book and
look at "Fingering Chart." Basically, you are on the right track and
you should use the fingerings that work best for the situation, but
there are caveats.
Sincerely,
Wendell Rider
