“I had a wonderful time studying with Jo! She’s so kind and knowledgeable, and is able to pinpoint issues I have in my playing and help me work through them in an encouraging way. She’s the best!”

There are so many ways, big and small, to be a musician. It’s important in lessons to make sure that I am helping you get what you want out of music, not just molding you into a certain way of being a musician.

Are you a middle school student who is struggling to keep up in band?

Are you a high school student who wants to make All State Band or Orchestra?

Are you an adult who used to play in high school and wants to pick up an instrument again but doesn’t know where to start?

No matter your reasons for taking lessons, let’s talk about how I can help you be the musician you want to be.

"Johanna has strong technical knowledge and is very familiar with orchestral literature and horn playing traditions. But the thing that distinguishes her from other teachers I've had is her patience and sense of humor. I look forward to lessons because I know even difficult feedback will be tempered with humor."
