Habits of a Successful Intermediate Band Musician - French Horn

Habits of a Successful Intermediate Band Musician – French Horn is the second book in the Habits band series and a field-tested, vital, and musical collection of 172 sequenced exercises for the intermediate band student. Featuring melodic contouring to shape phrases and develop expression, a focus on range development and timing exercises, teacher tips for each exercise, sequenced diatonic solfege, one-octave scale studies in twelve keys, and expanded whole tone scales, this method provides a comprehensive and carefully scaffolded path for advancing French horn students.

Sequential rhythm charts are embedded throughout the book and presented with pitches for a seamless transfer to performance music. Additional features include rhythm vocabulary progressing through dotted quarter–eighth, sixteenth-note denominations, cut time, and 6/8 time, guided questions to encourage student-centered instruction, an introductory exercise for developing vibrato, and technique and skill-building exercises that prepare students for future Habits exercises.
