Switching Students to Horn.

This article talks about the switches of music students from another instrument players to horn players in several colleges and universities. The height and strength of students is an early consideration in switching because a full-size horn is unwieldy and heavy for many small students. Music students are encouraged to be in good posture and proper position when playing horn instruments. Students will never play in tune without a good right-hand position. Music teachers and directors have found that students who switch from another instrument often can play more advanced music.
