It's gonna take practice!. Here's a way I used to practice them!.!.!.

Have the scales written out on your music stand!. For one week, just play them in order, working toward not making any mistakes!. The next week, play them while looking at your music, then after each one try to play them with your eyes closed!. If you can't, do it again before moving on to the next scale!.

The next week, play all of them in order while looking, then all of them in order without looking!. You're going to make mistakes, that's part of learning!.!.!. just make of note of where you're having trouble so you can go back a few steps in THAT place!.

Then you'll have a week left to perfect it, so if you're nervous, you'll be able to perform great anyway, because you've practiced so much!.

There's no way to do this without putting some work into it, but as with most things, the hard work will pay off!.!.!. scales are the fundamentals of good musicianship, and you'll be a better French horn player for it!.

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
