French Horn with Sadie G.

Valley Vibes El Sistema Program

As the Brass Teaching Artist at Valley Vibes El Sistema Program, I work with students in first grade through 8th grade learning trumpet and trombone. Through daily lessons, we work on orchestra and wind ensemble music, theory and musicianship, singing, and brass technique.

Pacific Union College

Currently, I am on faculty at Pacific Union College (PUC) in Angwin, CA where I have worked for the past three academic years. While at PUC I have taught both horn and trumpet applied lessons, created and taught the brass performance and horn pedagogy classes, coached the PUC horn quartet, and taught the music synthesis course using Cubase. I have assisted students and community members with graduate school auditions and applications, summer festival applications, and recitals. I have recruited students by visiting high schools, adjudicated festivals, and as a guest clinician, lecturer, and performer.

Professional Orchestras and Ensembles throughout America

As a freelance professional musician, I travel throughout the country to perform and present lectures as a soloist and with ensembles. I have performed with some of the country's premier early music groups such as American Bach Soloists and Mercury: the orchestra redefined. I also perform in the Sacramento and San Francisco Bay Area with modern orchestras, such as Santa Rosa Symphony, Monterey Symphony, Symphony Silicon Valley, and Sacramento Philharmonic and Opera.

Sadie Glass Private Lesson Instructor

I have been teaching private lessons since 2008 across the country. I teach horn, trumpet, natural horn, and baroque horn. Here is a quote from parent: "Sadie Glass' evident passion and dedication inform each lesson she teaches our son, Ike. In addition to technique and theory, Sadie takes time to unfold some nuance in the exercises and compositions Ike studies with her. His trumpet performance has improved significantly since beginning his work with Sadie."
