Scenes from the Horn Studio

Performancepalooza!

Another day, another gig...or so it has seemed for the horn studio this semester! Three recitals and several performances in our weekly General Student Recitals have kept all of our students busy, and here are a few photos from the big days...

Kayla O'Connor and Josh Cushing after their
Senior Recital April 27

Kayla and Josh will be leaving us after this semester as graduating seniors. We'll miss them but wish them luck in their new adventures!

Tierney and Jess, along with pianist Hyun Soo Kim performed a recital of works by Gliére, HIndemith, Planel and Reinecke.

General Student Recitals (GSRs)

Podcast Coming Soon!

We'll have a brand new Horn Studio podcast available in the coming weeks, which will give a glimpse into what we're up to in the UD Land of Horn...Meanwhile, a couple of photos from the video shoots.

They're musical, and artistic...
A good teacher should know how to accessorize...

Our Recent Horn Studio Class Recital

Our class recital had a bit of everything, from Renaissance chansons to Wagner, Bach to Strauss, and moments for everyone to shine. Here are a few mementos of the day...

An Intense Recital Rehearsal

My weekly Rep Class joined me on my faculty recital this year, and below you can see a few photos of us hard at work rehearsing! I'm really proud of the work the students have been doing for this project, and I look forward to a great performance!
