    Lip trills are an alternative to valved trills on the French horn that involve "wiggling" between two close harmonics above g1 on the F horn and c1 on the B-flat horn. Lip trills require regular practice or the technique is lost. The document provides a PDF that divides lip trill practice into four areas: starting trills, controlling the "wiggle spot" between notes, working on speed and flexibility, and refining the technique with sustained exercises. The PDF outline serves as a guide for horn players to develop their lip trill technique.
