French Horn with Anna G.

Hello! I am a French Horn player in the United States Air Force Band of the Golden West, originally from Pennsylvania. I received my Bachelor of Music degrees in French Horn Performance and Music Education from the University of Michigan. I then taught middle school band for a year before beginning my Master of Music Performance degree at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music, which I completed in 2019. Following graduation I joined the Air Force and have been at the job ever since! I have taught a wide variety of students from age 9-74 of all proficiency levels. I have always maintained a large private studio, but I also taught sectionals at several high school around Ann Arbor, MI including Belleville, Plymouth-Canton, Saline, and Ypsilanti, as well as coached the Michigan Youth Band and Orchestra and Detroit Youth Symphony Orchestra horn sections on the weekends. I have performed with and/or held positions with many groups including the Los Angeles Sinfonietta, the Rochester Symphony, the Debut Chamber Orchestra, the North State Symphony, the Jackson Symphony, the Santa Monica Symphony, the Adrian Symphony, and the Bellflower Symphony. Last year, I was fortunate enough to perform with Carla Morrison on her Amor Supremo tour. I am heard on the soundtrack of the movie “Diamond Street” (2018), folk singer May Erlewine’s latest album, Mother Lion (2017), and also was a part of the Grammy-nominated recording project for Darius Milhaud’s Orestian Trilogy. I am a member of Sigma Alpha Iota, the professional women’s fraternity, the National Association for Music Educators, the National Honors Society, and the Tri-M Music Honors Society. I have put on several fundraiser recitals, most recently last December in State College, Pennsylvania where I raised several hundred dollars for single women in need of financial and emotional support. I would love to work with you, and help you learn more about music!
