Begin by choosing your instrument. Most musicians start with a single horn but later move on to a double horn. You may want to rent your first horn while you save money to buy a double horn.Practice with your mouthpiece without connecting it to your horn. Learn how to make the mouthpiece buzz by controlling the airflow through your lips. When you can play a simple tune like "Mary Had a Little Lamb" with your mouthpiece, you're ready to attach it to the horn.
Raise the left side of the horn until the mouthpiece is at your lips. This is the correct position for playing the horn while sitting. To play while standing, hold the horn horizontally and, while keeping your right hand in the bell, support it with both hands.
