Solihull School

Horn Group

Horn group has been practising hard this year, and was well prepared for the commanding performance it delivered during the interval of the Commemoration Concert. Under the expert guidance of professional player Alyson Roper, who incidentally arranged some of the pieces we performed, the group has developed a fine ensemble and balance.

Two of our number must now move on, leaving only two experienced players to champion this wonderful instrument. This is the perfect opportunity for you to consider taking up a new challenge, to play an instrument that has had a key role in orchestral writing since emerging in the classical period. Horn players are almost guaranteed unlimited ensemble opportunities because they are in such short supply.
