Etudes From the Silver Screen: French Horn Etudes Inspired by Music From Popular Film Scores
Public Deposited- Abstract
While the French Horn is an instrument with a rich history, the methods that are used to teach the instrument, particularly when it comes to the available selection of etude books, has not evolved to match the interests of many modern musicians. It is hard to find a standard or widely used etude resource for the horn that is not at least 50 years old. The following series of 12 etudes are an attempt to take the already established pedagogical concepts from standard horn etudes, and apply those ideas to a style of music that may be more engaging to younger students. Each of the etudes is inspired by a specific film composer, or style of film ranging from spy movies, action films, and fantasy epics to create a wide variety of musical styles for students to study. Basing the etudes in previously established pedagogical concepts will ensure that the etudes are effective as a teaching resource, while still being fun and relatable to the next generation of horn players.
