I'm taking (French) horn lessons and my teacher said her grandpa taught her to play from the hymnal because those were tunes she knew. The horn has MANY pitches using the same fingering so the shape of your mouth (embouchure) is very important, much more so than with any other instrument. I pulled out my Burt Bacharach Easy Piano book yesterday and had a lot of fun playing from it. This tune was especially well matched for the beginning horn range. Karen Carpenter sings it best in my opinion, I miss her.
