Customer Reviews
Fits perfectly in the niche
A wonderfully thoughtful podcast for horn enthusiasts and professionals alike with insightful interviews giving insight into the minds of some of the greatest musicians on Earth!
Great podcast
I really enjoyed all of the stories in your interview with Dave Kreibel. I also enjoyed the recordings at the end especially after his explanations 😊. I played that same Reicha trio in high school with Phil Myers and Ed Aunins for our solo and ensemble contest in Elkhart. We played the same trio two years in a row and just switched parts! (And got a first place both times). Of course Phil played first both times!
Enjoyable and Informative for Horn Player!
As a proficient horn player, I have found this podcast to be very helpful as well as enjoyable.
