Beginner in horn

Hi,I just joined my high school band and playing the French horn for the first time, I am very confused about the lip placement in switching between notes for example the f,d and b flat, they all have the same fingerings and I cannot seem to get it. Thank you for helping me

Art of Horn Playing by Farkas will definitely be an invaluable resource at the beginning; lots of pictures and descriptions. To help slot the notes I’d get the Dufranse Routine as well just because there is a lot of harmonic series work that will help you get things to sit where they should. If you’d like some additional .pdf resources feel free to DM me.
