AlfredSixty Selected Studies French Horn
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Sixty etudes for French horn, published by Alfred. A study book for a player already reading music and working through technique, not a beginner's first book.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Horn students working past basic method books toward etude study
- Private lesson assignments needing structured technical material
- Players rebuilding range and reading after time away
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners who have not learned fingerings or note reading
- Players wanting play-along tracks or backing accompaniment
- Anyone needing a different instrument's transposition
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Sixty separate pieces
Enough material for many months of steady practice, one or two etudes at a time.
Detail 03
Written for French horn
Parts are in horn transposition. A trumpet or trombone player cannot read straight from it.
Detail 04
Print book
No audio, no app, no digital access. Practice tempo and pitch reference come from you or your teacher.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No CD, download, or backing tracks come with it
- 02Best used alongside a teacher who assigns and checks the etudes
- 03Etude books do not stay open flat; a page holder helps
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this good for a complete beginner?
No. It is a study collection, not a method book. You should already read music, know fingerings, and produce a steady tone before starting.
02Does it come with audio or play-along tracks?
No. It is a printed book of etudes only.
03Can a trumpet player use this?
Not directly. The parts are written in French horn transposition, so the pitches would not line up on trumpet.
04How long does a book like this last?
Sixty etudes worked at one or two per week covers roughly a school year of practice material.
