Cornell University Horn Studio

Rachel Behrens(class of 2009), alumni from the Cornell University Horn Studio, visited Cornell this past Monday and presented to the ChemE junior class about her career as part of their alumni seminar series. It was so great to see her and connect again after 17 years!

Cornell Symphony Orchestra horn sectional tonight. I am so impressed with both the orchestra and Wind Ensemble horn sections this year! You are what make my job at Cornell so great! Thank you for all your hard work! 📯💪

Just another day at Cornell Horn Studio…

Today we had 10 of the 15 horn players in our studio that was able to come for a fun afternoon of reading horn octets. Such a fun time!

We always love to feature our horn studio and today Felicia is here to tell you more about herself and her hobbies:
“Hi, my name is Felicia Chan and I am a Masters student at Cornell University, studying nutrition. I graduated from Purdue University with a double major in Nutrition and Exercise, and a minor in music. I play the piano and the horn, and I am currently a member of the Cornell Wind Symphony. 🎶 Outside of music, I am an avid competitive sailor ⛵️, and I will be representing Macau 🇲🇴 at the Chinese National Games this month. The Games are held every 4 years, and I will be flying to ShanWei, China for the competition on the 17th of October. Besides sailing, I also love snowboarding 🏂, scuba diving 🤿 , lifting weights 🏋🏻‍♀️, and teaching swimming 🏊🏻‍♀️, sailing ⛵️, and piano 🎹💙.

Cornell University had only been in session for about a month and we already had 2 concerts this semester. Congratulations to the Cornell orchestras and to CU winds for your performances these past 2 weekends. This weekend was homecoming weekend at Cornell and I was happy to see so many people at the orchestra concert! Congratulations to all my students and all your hard work! I am so very proud of all of you! 🎶📯🔥

So proud of these students! Fabulous concert tonight! 👏👏 👏

It’s a good day in my teacher world when finally all my students at both universities are added to Faculty Center and registered for lessons. Let’s just say, it was not an easy task to fit everyone this year! It is going to be one of my busiest years as a college teacher where I will be teaching all 5 days of the week, including traveling to BU most weeks twice to teach and coach ensembles.
Today I also heard that my private horn student from Ithaca was selected for principal horn in All State! I am so excited to work with so many talented horn players here in the Fingerlakes! Thankful to have the best job in the world! 🙏

First horn studio dinner of the year! It makes me so happy when I see my students hang out together! Not everyone is in the photo, but it seems like about 2/3rds of them could make it! 📯 Have fun everyone!
