I just finished my second book!!! “Ornamenting your Improvisation- A Guide to Approach Notes”. I am very happy and excited about it. It is a great addition to the Horn Community and to musicians in general. It has 80 different exercises. “In this book you will find a way to add chromaticism into your improvisation. We will learn different strategies on how to play one, two, three or even four notes before playing your target note (tone). We will be focusing on Major, Dominant, Minor and Half - Diminished Chords”. Feel free to send me a message if you will like to order the book!
