In diesem Lehrwerk wird der erklarende Text bewusst in den Vordergrund geruckt. Schuler und Lehrer werden umfassend uber didaktisch-methodische, musikalische und technische Fragen informiert. Die Ubungsstucke und Lieder - jeweils fur Horn in B und F beginnend im kleinsten Tonumfang mit systematischer Einfuhrung der Ventile - sollen den Spass am Hornblasen fordern. Theoretische Abhandlungen uber Ansatz, Atmung etc. sind an den Schluss gestellt, damit die praktischen Anleitungen fur den Anfanger nicht unterbrochen werden. Musikalische Grundkenntnisse werden aus zweierlei Grunden vorausgesetzt: Zum einen erweist es sich haufig, dass Hornschuler bereits in der musikalischen Fruherziehung das Notenlesen gelernt haben und zum anderen, dass bei vielen Horn das zweite Instrument ist, das sie spielen wollen. Im 2. Band findet sich geeignetes Unterrichtsmaterial sowie entsprechende Literatur, womit der gerade den Anfangsschwierigkeiten entwachsene Hornschuler seine Technik auf lockere und spielerische Weise stetig vervollkommnen kann. In allen 12 Tonarten gibt es leichtere und schwierigere Ubungen, die Lehrer und Schuler dem jeweiligen Ausbildungsstand entsprechend auswahlen konnen.
