Overview

The horn institute is an opportunity for horn players to spend a week of intensive study with a distinguished faculty of performers and teachers.

Program Details

Daily master classes focus on practice techniques and daily routines, instrument history, solo literature, professionalism and ethics of the music business, and orchestral excerpt preparation.

Etude studies include the Kopprasch Etudes, Maxime- Alphonse Etudes, Concone Etudes, etc.

Private lessons give students personal instruction from the distinguished faculty.
