William VerMeulen Residency at Eastman

A big thank you to William VerMeulen, Principal Horn of the Houston Symphony and Professor of Horn at the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University, for presenting a masterclass and providing lessons to all Eastman School of Music hornists on April 13 and 14. It was a memorable few days! We all enjoyed learning from you and look forward to applying the concepts you discussed to our horn playing.
