How do I get better at French horn?

Hello! I played French horn for about 3–4 years before deciding to quit in 8th grade. When I got to 9th grade, I realized how much I missed it and decided to start relearning.

My issue is that I’ve been trying to get back into playing for about a year now, but I still feel like I sound awful and I can’t remember how I improved so much the first time around.

Does anyone have any good practice tips or resources I could try? Anything from buzzing exercises, free apps, online lessons, or even good YouTube channels/videos would be really helpful!

After quitting, I realized that French horn is something I’m truly passionate about, and I really want to improve during the years I have left in high school so I can hopefully pursue music in college. Any advice or tips would mean a lot. Thank you!!
