Tenor Horn

The tenor horn is a horn with an upright bell. It is pitched in E flat and reads treble clef. The tenor horn can be given the alto saxophone music, however at times it will be too high and should be taken down the octave. In addition they can play the alto clarinet part. Another option is to give them a bass clef part (euphonium, baritone, trombone, even bassoon)  - see the trick for this below!

There's a little clever thing that you can do with a bass clef (concert pitch) chart so that an E flat instrument can play it. You simply over-write the clef to treble clef, and then add three sharps to the key signature. For example, if there are three flats, then adding three sharps cancels them out. Then the part can be played as though it is treble clef. For example, the C on the second line when it was bass clef, is now read as an A in treble clef. The tricky part to understand can be accidentals, but you just need to alter them with the same intent (raise or lower by a semitone). See these examples:
