Learn to Play French Horn!
Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra is offering a workshop in February for a handful of young musicians interested in exploring the French horn.
We encourage students in grades 2-8 with musical experience to apply. A brief interview will be conducted depending on interest, and a small group of students will be invited to participate. Please note that you do not need prior wind or brass instrument experience to apply. In fact, many successful workshop participants have been pianists!
Beginning in early February, musicians interested in trying these instruments will be able to meet with Marina Krickler (Ashland resident and Ashland Public Schools horn teacher) for a series of free masterclasses. The masterclasses culminate with one individual final meeting to discuss the possibility of playing one of these instruments long-term. Attendance at each session is required:
- Workshop 1, Feb. 8, 10 a.m. — 12 p.m.
- Workshop 2, Feb. 15, 10 a.m. — 12 p.m.
- Workshop 3, Feb. 22, 10 a.m. — 12 p.m.
- One individual final meeting will be scheduled for the week of March 1.
Each student will be provided with an instrument and instruction materials for the length of the workshop. The workshops will be held at Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra’s new building at 235 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02115.
For more information or to sign up, please email Marina at marina.krickler@gmail.com.
