Mary Beth Orr and I discuss what it's like to be professional orchestral players, as well as her new album, The Singing Horn.

“This album is truly the manifestation of a labor of love. Through the course of recording it I experienced the birth of my first biological child and the death of my mother. My family and I experienced many losses during this time, family members, friends, beloved pets… and experienced amazing joys and successes. The blessing of my son came after many years of trying, and the opportunity to put my soul into my dream project became a reality. In short, a whole lot of life. So, let this album be a love letter to my life, and to yours.”-Mary Beth Orr

This episode features Sydney Richardson as she recounts her journey to being accepted into The Juilliard School. As a high school horn player, she discusses her personal experience with what it's like to pursue a career in music, starting with college auditions. In her first episode, she talks about how she decided which schools were right for her, offers her perspective on recording prescreening tapes, and gives crucial advice to young musicians preparing to embark on their own college audition journeys.

Join me and three of my young students for a fun and silly talk about why playing the horn is so awesome!
