Lip slurs will help your embouchure get adjusted to the french horn mouthpiece. And scales are a wonderful tool when learning a new instrument and all the fingerings. Be careful when you're doing scales so you don't start on the wrong partial.

Thank you I will work on those things. I already know the fingerings to most of the notes since I am playing B flat horn and they are the same as the trumpet and i know those fingerings, so thanks or the tips!
