Music Theory with Joe A.

Hello, all! I am Joseph Alberico, and I currently study Horn Performance at the Eastman School of Music, pursuing a Bachelor's degree. I am under the tutelage, primarily, of W. Peter Kurau, the Principal Horn of the Rochester Philharmonic. I have also studied with many other horn heroes, including William VerMeulen (Principal Horn- Houston Symphony), Jacek Muzyk (Principal Horn- Buffalo Philharmonic), and Jennifer Montone (Principal Horn- Philadelphia Orchestra). I have performed as a guest soloist with the Central Winds Wind Ensemble as a concerto competition winner (R. Strauss Horn Concerto No. 1), and occasionally perform with Symphoria (formerly known as the Syracuse Symphony). In addition to this, I have performed with the Eastman Wind Orchestra, the Eastman School Symphony Orchestra, and a brass quintet that recieved honors distinctions and performed for the likes of the U.S. Navy Brass Quintet, and Canadian Brass. I have about two years of experience teaching beginner and intermediate level players. I look forward to teaching students of any level how to build a solid craft and become an excellent musician, in a way that makes horn playing effortless and enjoyable!
