Teaching

Ms. Salo enjoys working with students of all ages and abilities to foster a love of music and horn playing. Currently, she is accepting students 5th grade through adults in her private studio. Ms. Salo is available to teach private lessons, give sectional classes, and coach ensembles. Please contact her for current availability and rates.

Private Lessons

In private lessons, Ms. Salo focuses on developing the fundamentals of horn playing, including tone production, flexibility, range, articulation, phrasing, and basic music theory. As students master these skills, Ms. Salo helps them refine their playing and develop their musicianship through standard etudes and solo works. She encourages her students to perform as often as they can, and she organizes annual studio performance opportunities. To sign up for lessons, please contact Ms. Salo.

During the summer, Ms. Salo is a faculty member at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp.
