French Horn Lessons in Phoenix. Amazing Teachers.

Experienced teacher of six years, with most experience teaching beginner to intermediate students. I have a Bachelors of Music in Horn Performance from the University of Kansas and I'm currently working on my Masters of Music in Horn Performance at Arizona State University. Lessons will involve establishing and reinforcing fundamentals, solo repertoire, etudes, and working on any other music students bring in that they'd like help with. Looking forward to making music together!

I have enjoyed teaching a studio of 50-60 french horn players in the last 11 years and 25 total years teaching horn. My students consistently earn top honors, such as 14-18 students per year for the last five years placing in Tennessee's Midstate Bands. Many make All-State, Governor's School, and get full music scholarships in college.

I have a passion for students experiencing great music making. Meanwhile I instill solid horn foundations such as good embouchure, sitting position/horn angle, tonguing, tone, and breathing. I adapt my exact teaching methods to students' learning styles and goals, often using fun and artistic music I've written. I have taught 3rd graders to 70 year olds, beginners to college and professional players.
I play horn professionally, having played with Nashville Symphony, Colorado Symphony and as a regular member of the symphonies of Huntsville. Alabama; Evansville, Indianna; Owensboro, Kentucky, Greeley, Colorado, and Cheyenne Wyoming as well as in Gateway ...

I have a degree in music education which has taught me about all woodwind, brass and percussion instruments. I can help you achieve all of your performance goals.
