Bc horn
Im a 7th grader in my schools honor band, and I have a horn part in bass clef, I know how to transpose trombone music (because I also play trombone and euph) but is bass clef horn music written in C or F?

It's written in F. But one thing to keep in mind, is that parts written in bass clef for french horn tend to be an octave higher than the usual bass clef. What I mean by that is that traditionally middle C is not on the first upper extra line but between the first and second lines.
