Baritone Horn Lessons

Learn to play the Baritone Horn. Baritone Horn tutors throughout the UK; more welcome.

The baritone horn is a member of the brass family of musical instruments. As a typical brass instrument, the baritone has a cylindrical bore and uses a large mouthpiece. This puts it as a cross between a euphonium and a trumpet and is, in fact, pitched exactly one octave below the B-flat trumpet. Its position relative to these other brass musical instruments means that it produces a warm mellow sound. The baritone horn is favoured by brass bands and it is also popular in school and college ensembles although the baritone is gradually giving way to modern euphoniums in these establishments.

The baritone is smaller than that of the euphonium both in its cylindrical bore and also in the size of its bell. This makes it lighter and easier to carry - important for marching bands and younger players.

The American baritone has three valves on its front and the bell is curved and points forward.

In the late 1970's, baritone bugles were introduced with two vertical piston valves instead of one along with one rotary valve. Ten years later, baritone bugles were produced with three valves.

For the last 50 years of the 20th century, convention dictated that baritone musical instruments were set to the key of G but after the turn of the millenium, instruments were manufactured in a variety of keys although the standard has become the B-flat

Baritone horns are often used by marching band trombonists who are having problems simultaneously carrying and playing their trombone. Accordingly, schools and colleges still teach students of brass musical instruments to play the baritone horn.
