The horn studio at Hartt creates a supportive atmosphere that offers frequent collaboration with other students and studios. The Artist Diploma (AD) program is designed to provide emerging professional soloists with advanced level instrumental study to further their career goals in the performing arts. The core of this training program is intensive instrumental study geared for the solo performer in concert, chamber music, and orchestra. This program has fewer academic requirements which allows students to concentrate fully on instrumental performance. Through weekly privates lessons, and weekly studio classes, you will focus on small ensemble and solo playing. At Hartt, you will receive comprehensive musical training while developing innovative ideas and career ready skills while gaining exposure to nationally and internationally recognized musicians (recent guest artists include Gene Pokorney of CSO, Julie Landsman of The Met, Ray Mase of ABQ.)
