Posted by: hornchannel

Ifor explains some ideas for beginner hornplayers on finding the right mouthpiece. I will give a shameless plug here for PHC Mouthpieces in the UK because they gave Ifor some for this video ( www.horncups.com ).
They will of course pay me 10% commission on all sales hereafter (I doubt).

Video duration: 130 seconds

Ifor with my eldest son showing how to teach children to hold the instrument without any physical strain.
I have left the preamble and chatty bit at the end on the video simply because it is "typical Ifor". A seriously nice bloke.
My son is a bit older now and would probably hate being called "cute". Who better to have though as a first teacher than Ifor James?
