Hi, I'm a high school student deciding whether I should play the French horn in concert band next year as a sophomore. To give some context... I have zero wind instrument experience besides the recorder, and I've been playing in band as a percussionist. I know there are numerous other wind instruments I could learn, but the French horn just caught my eye. I have approximately 7-8 months left until that concert band season. With help from private tutors, will I be able to play a few simple pieces, join my school's standard concert band, and follow along?
