Attacking Notes, and the New Improved IHS Website

PUBLISHED: August 11, 2009, John Ericson

I have a new “tip of the month” posted now in the IHS website on the topic of “Release notes or attack notes?” which I hope is of interest but also of note is the brand new look and layout of The IHS Online itself. Do check it out, it was unveiled today.

My Last Week in Nashville, a New Site, and The Mellocast on IHS Macomb

Podcasts Featuring Anton Horner and John Barrows Available Now

The first two featured are sessions by Anton Horner and John Barrows. Very worth checking out! Horner and Barrows both are important American horn teachers not as well known [...]
