Work With Me
My Offerings
Residencies
Have an experienced professional with a wide-ranging career imbed with your students for an in-depth intensive, relationship-building experience. Topics we cover can include performances, private studio development, freelancing, project development and individual sessions. Residencies can range from 1 day to an entire week.
Coaching
One-on-one sessions are an exciting opportunity to drill down into your specific needs and purpose. We can work on your short and long-term goals with respect to your playing. These are great for those preparing for auditions, recitals and competitions, for getting back into horn playing, as well as for those wanting a positive and constructive assessment of their playing.
Clinics
I adore helping horn players identify and respond to challenges in group settings. This is perfect for targeted work in sectionals, masterclasses on specific topics and side-by-side performances in ensembles. Online and in-person options available.
Recitals
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to add diversity your current music offerings, sample some of Margaret’s latest music projects or engage her for a lecture recital. Maybe you’re interested in developing a multi-media or interdisciplinary performance or bringing new music to a new audience. Whatever it is, the possibilities are exciting and endless.
Studio Teaching
Margaret occassionally individual spots available to hardworking, talented horn players looking to level up with their technique, develop their musicianship and pursue performance goals. Her students have won scholarships to study music at institutions such as Peabody Conservatory, NYU, the University of Toronto, CalArts, and the University of Maryland-College Park, and other students have gone on to participate or minor in music at Duke, Brown, CalTech-Pomona, Florida Tech, Old Dominion, St. Mary’s, and the University of Iowa. Margaret’s studio members have gained positions with regional honor bands in Germany and Arizona; with G/T, County Honor, Junior and Senior All-State, and Baltimore Symphony Youth Orchestra ensembles in Maryland, as well as All-Eastern and All-Nation Bands. She loves working with students who love the horn, love to practice, and want more out of music and the instrument!
“Margaret’s presentation at the MMEA in-service conference was wonderful: practical and so, so helpful”
