Allyson Partin - French Horn Teacher and Performer

Celebrated the end of the school year with my horn students at Wayzata High School this afternoon! I'm very proud to be a part of this great band program and to teach these wonderful students. They all work hard and bring so much joy to each week! 📯🎶

Two of these wonderful kiddos are off to college. Feels bittersweet to see them move on. 😭

Last October I began teaching beginning band and piano at 2 Saint Paul elementary schools to 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. I really had no idea what to expect, but I always knew that I wanted to do work like this. Several hours a week I get to teach kids that might not otherwise have any exposure to playing a musical instrument. This might be the most important work I have done in my career up until this point. I love every minute of it!

I just had to share this note I got from my sweet student. I am so thrilled these students are enjoying their time learning music. I do my best everyday to make it fun and engaging!

Happy New Year everyone! I am really happy to announce that as of the spring semester I am the adjunct professor of horn at Bethel University here in the Twin Cities! I am so excited to begin working with the students and to join the Bethel community.

This past fall I also joined the faculty of and through this wonderful organization began outreach work at Saint Paul Public Schools in their extended day learning program teaching band instruments to 4th and 5th graders.

Lots of exciting things happening! I am very excited for all that is coming up in 2023!

A couple of weeks ago I completed my 8th marathon and shaved 12 minutes off of my previous 2017 time! Thanks
For a great race and Annah for running the whole way with me!

I tried a different approach to training and it made such a difference! Now I'm looking for my next goal!

What a busy fun week! I am so thankful for all of the wonderful opportunities that Summit Music LLC] has provided for me! Not only do I get to play music that I love, but I also get to perform with super talented musicians. I had so much fun sharing a concert today with Michael Gruber who is such a superstar!
