CONTACT ME.
I will:
- Play in your band, your friend's band, or some other band that you heard needed a lady horn.
- Make up my own parts or play the ones you've meticulously written.
- Be down with extended technique, chance music, social experiments.
- Do strange things in the name of art. If your tune requires me to play horn from the center of a giant hamster ball, I will do that. (I will also sit in a chair. Your call.)
- Wear whatever costumery you might require: clothes pins, ball gowns, chucks, feathers, yellow rain jackets, all black, no black at all, etc.
- Play very expressively and with great musicality.
I will not:
- Be able to leap from the bottom of my range to the top of my range with a great deal of accuracy. Nor will I be able to do the brass equivalent of "shredding." I'm just not that fast. If you only write for horn in the upper register I will likely start to sound like a repressed elephant. Same goes if you write everything fff.
- Play standard orchestral/band/brass quintet repertoire. Nothing wrong with it, I just don't want to. I want to rock out.
I have:
- An undergraduate music education degree from James Madison University with a concentration in horn.
- Experience playing most other orchestral instruments + ukulele on a 7th grade level.
- Decent piano skills.
- A super ear for harmony, which makes me a great back up singer.*
*I cannot play horn and sing at the same time. I can however play ukelele or piano and sing at the same time. I am very good at that.
