How did you Write Four Books in One Year??


As my Dad used to say, Rome wasn’t built in a day. As indicated in the prior posts on the new books, I have been working on all four of the initial publications by Horn Notes Edition for several years. All of them were taking shape in some form by the time I was first teaching full time at the Crane School of Music (SUNY Potsdam) and were worked out further with students there, at the Brevard Music Center, and at ASU. I feel certain that all of the new titles will be useful not only in my teaching but also in the teaching and study of quite a few horn players out there.

While I don’t want to yet say publicly what exactly, I should also note that I actually now have draft versions going for three more new books! Now that I have things all set to launch Horn Notes Edition I hope to bring a number of other publications to print.
