Articulations on the horn might be confusing because sometimes the rhythm given by the articulations differs from the rhythm given by the notes. There are some scores with simple pattern slurs, but sometimes also alternating longer and shorter phrases...

The Jaw Movement on the Horn

Details
Written by: Ricardo Matosinhos
Published: 24 June 2014

We play with a relatively small mouthpiece on the horn, on a considerable wide range! Usually horn players push the jaw forward for the low range. There is one exercise I like to do for practicing the jaw movement by alternating 2 overtone series.
These exercises are included in the Horn365 method
