Teaching Philosophy


For me, teaching is a partnership between the student and the teacher. Hard work from both sides to keep the partnership running efficiently. The horn is an extension of your body; playing the horn should feel easy and natural, and no matter what age or level you are, that is the concept we will be aiming for. I believe that, as with anything, something is only as hard as you make it. I also believe that Creativity is in the practice room. My philosophy is to help you get even more creative in your practicing, make playing and performing fun, to develop your love for music. I’m dedicated to developing not just a French horn player, but the whole musician. Tailoring my teaching style to your learning style. Through the utilization of solo repertoire, progressive etudes, technical exercises, and chamber music, you will grow in your musicianship, craftsmanship, and especially your love for music. I strongly believe in a welcoming and positive teaching environment, and work to develop not only good horn technique, but strong performing and presentation skills. Let the Horn do the work for you! The notes are already there.
