About Willow
My name is Willow and I‘m a performer and teacher based out of Cleveland, Ohio. I have a passion for sharing music with others and I especially love inspiring new players to share their music too. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in French horn performance from Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University, and a Masters degree from New England Conservatory.

Some of my teaching philosophies:
Building a foundation of reliable technique. Using exercises from various methodologies, I create a personalized routine for each of my students. This process is important because it helps my students create healthy habits that help them build a well-rounded and confident foundation of basic technique.
Etudes. Practicing and playing etudes is one of the best ways to apply technique and practice musicality. We can also pick and choose etudes from different methodologies to target different interests or problem areas that a student might have.
Repertoire exposure. I encourage my students to explore different solo pieces from the traditional French horn repertoire. We develop strategies for learning large works including how to break the solos into manageable smaller pieces, what a phrase is and how to make each one musical, and how to study recordings and apply interesting musical ideas to a student's own playing.
Performance Anxiety. I help my students develop strategies for conquering performance anxiety - both in the moment and anxiety leading up to a performance. I also work to preemptively build up confidence in my students and we work together to find joy and excitement in performing. Performance anxiety is often one of the hardest things for a musician to overcome. Personally, I've had to work really hard to overcome my anxiety and learn strategies to have an enjoyable and successful performance. Conquering anxiety is something that we can and should practice.
