James Currence “Electrifying the Horn” (GSM 110)

Come and learn about how to “electrify” the french horn via an electric pedalboard! In this presentation, audience members will not only learn the story behind the development of a pedalboard with the horn in mind, but also how to create one for themselves. The purpose of this presentation is to help show the audience how to make the pedalboard unique to who they are as creative individuals. There will also be a demonstration of the various sounds that the pedalboard can create. At the end of the presentation, there will be an interactive performance for horn choir plus an “electrified” french horn! Horn players of all ages and playing levels are welcome!

Marie Smith “Body mapping, mindfulness, and horn pedagogy” (GSM 319)

This interactive lecture will examine aspects of horn pedagogy through the lens of mindfulness and body mapping. Body mapping explores our understanding of our own anatomy and the ways we move based on that understanding. Bring a mouthpiece and a willingness to move!
