Artist Fellowship
ACHF Arts Access
I plan to try several English horns from woodwind specific stores such as Carlos Oboe, Midwest Musical Imports, and RDG Woodwinds, and purchase either a Loree English horn or Loree Royal English horn in the summer of 2016 if awarded the funds from this grant. This will enable me to be a self-sufficient oboist/English horn player and enable me to complete my other goals of pursuing in-depth study on reed making strategies and orchestral excerpts. I will consider my grant project to be completed when I have purchased an English horn, but will not consider my goals met until I have learned standard orchestral excerpts to an audition-quality level and am able to properly remove and replace all keywork on the oboe and English horn.
I have purchased a Loree English horn from Midwest Musical Imports.
