About this Site
The following pages are intended for current horn students as well as students interested in studying the horn at ULM.
The Division of Music at the University of Louisiana Monroe is a part of the School of Visual and Performing Arts, and offers degrees in a wide variety of concentrations. Students choosing horn as their major instrument can choose from the following degree offerings. Numerous funding opportunities are available for both graduate and undergraduate students, including talent grants and several graduate assistantships. Interested students can also elect to take applied horn lessons as music minors.
In addition to their weekly applied lessons, horn students can expect to play in a variety of large and small ensembles including the ULM Orchestra, ULM Wind Ensemble, ULM Horn Choir, brass quintets, woodwind quintets, and other small chamber groups.
Numerous other playing opportunities are also available in and around the Monroe area. Solo opportunities include the weekly student recital hour as well as a weekly horn studio class. This 90 minute class serves to supplement individual studio lessons, and allows the instructor to address specific playing and teaching concerns within a group format.
The Chamber Arts Brass trio is the faculty brass ensemble in residence at ULM, and offers students the opportunity to hear their instructors perform both traditional and contemporary brass ensemble literature.
If you have any questions or would like further information on horn study at ULM, please feel free to contact me by phone or email. I would be happy to set up a complimentary lesson with you if you are planning on visiting the ULM campus.
