Why Play French Horn?

Here are some good reasons to choose French horn:

• French horn makes a beautiful mellow sound.
• French horns are in high demand in the band because there aren't very many of them. 
• Band directors love French horn players (and always give them great grades). 
• Some of the most beautiful symphony music is written for French horn.
• Although not the easiest instrument to learn, anyone who practices can learn it in a reasonable amount of time.
• If you have any previous background in music (piano, violin, etc.) you can probably be  a great French hornist.
• It's really easy to get a college scholarship on French horn.
