Anyone who would like to can stop by and try them out before I sell them at the IHS convention.
Also - after a long hiatus I have found a supplier of American Horn Quartet Sheet music - over the next week or so I will be posting loads of their music to sell!

If you have a horn you’d like me to consign for you NOW is the time to get it to me!
There are other places that want to sell your horn - but beware of sending them overseas! Once it is there, it is VERY costly to get it back!
I sell horns for major players world wide, and would love to sell yours for you.
Please contact me!

Friday July 11th to Sunday July 13th, 2008
Heath, Franklin County, Massachusetts
with
John Clark and Jeffrey Agrell

——————————————————————————–

The Second Annual Improvisation Workshop for Horn Players will be held
July 2008 in the rural and scenic town of Heath, located in northwestern Massachusetts. The event will be directed by John Clark and Jeff Agrell.
The cost of the workshop is $200 and enrollment will be limited to 25 participants. (The fee includes lunch on Saturday and Sunday.)

The workshop will provide an introduction to improvisation, both jazz (Clark) and non-jazz (Agrell), for traditionally trained horn players. It is open to all horn players and no improvisation experience is necessary. Planned for each day are workshop sessions plus informal “concerts.” A preliminary outline of the schedule is HERE (available April 11th) so check back often to see what has been added. We would also like you to enjoy the beauty of the area, and we are planning some (optional) “fun” events as well.

John Clark is Horn professor at SUNY Purchase and author of “Exercises for Jazz French Horn.” He will lead the jazz sessions. These will alternate with the non-jazz sessions led by Jeff Agrell and Evan Mazunik. Jeff is Horn professor at the University of Iowa and author of “Improvisation Games for Classical Musicians.” Evan is a well-known improvising pianist and Soundpainting conductor.

We’re looking forward to having the workshop in Heath. Summer is the perfect time to visit this small Massachusetts “hilltown” just south of Vermont.

——————————————————————————–

For more details, please email
John Clark (john@hmmusic.com) or
Jeff Agrell (jeffrey-agrell@uiowa.edu).

More detailed information will be posted here soon.
Check back often for updates!
