An IHS Illinois Session on Teaching the Horn
Catherine Roche-Wallace has posted to her blog about her session at the 2009 International Horn Symposium, “Valuing and Nurturing our Horn Students Through Keirsey’s Temperaments.” The slides for her presentation may be accessed in her post, and they give a pretty clear idea of the content of the session, which focused on “how to teach to each type in the horn studio.” She reports that “every seat was taken” for the 9 am Sunday session and “LOTS of lively discussion ensued!”
