What's New in The Whole Horn

1.6.1

October 21, 2026

For band directors: one assignment, every instrument, now one tap from the first screen. Choose "The whole band — concert pitch" and every student opens it in their own key: for F concert, a trumpet reads G, an alto sax D, a flute F. Every instrument now plays in its own voice. Tenuto is the new default articulation, and with Swing on quarter notes, beats 2 and 4 are accented.

You don’t have to stick only to your instrument

I love this app it’s very comprehensive and the nice thing about it is that it has a lot of instruments so you don’t have to only stick to one instrument you can also practice other instruments as well if you wanna widen your horizons.

Game Changer!

The Whole Horn app isn’t just for brass instruments, but any instrument or voice!
Practice is essential for strengthening performance / this is true for any skill, especially music which enriches life and enhances learning of other dimensions.
The Whole Horn is a rewarding system that reinforces practice. What a win!!
