I just had to share this... We're hosting the All-District Band here this weekend at our University. One of the middle school horn players was having a terrible time getting a decent sound out of her instrument. This was obviously unusual for her, because she was sitting at the top of the sect

My faculty WW 5tet did this piece in October for a kiddie concert, and for our "Halloween" recital, with costumes! Our arrangement was by Cramer, published by TrevCo Music. It was a nice arrangement, but we made a few adjustments, with some small cuts, etc. I don't remember having any wrong n

I first heard this piece on a Tuckwell CD, "Baroque Horn Concertos," and really liked it. I performed it on a recital a couple years ago, with organ accompaniment. It's a lot of fun to play, and it worked nicely with organ. Best wishes, Travis Bennett 4768 Cambridge Drive Nort

I've been putting off getting my horn insured. What kind of policies do any of you have? Does it cover the horn wherever you go with it? What can I expect to pay monthly? Best wishes, Travis Bennett ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe o

Nobody seems to be mentioning solo CDs. Michael Thompson's "Golden Echo," recently re-released by Osmun, changed my life as a horn player when I first heard it several years ago. I still listen to it regularly for inspiration. Best wishes,
