Basically all I can play after taking two weeks off of horn in Mexico..... Great excuse to practice sight reading in bass clef! Also I love that I first started learning these literally a decade ago!

Utalizing a new practice technique that I stole from @michelshannon. I call it the "Chewbacca." Singing and playing forces you to have a steady air stream and reminds the back of your tongue that it doesn't need to… https://t.co/0KbujNmhWC

2009 vs 2019! I'd still say I'm on track! Thanks again Julie for letting Michel and I kidnap you last September! We will have to see if we can come bug you in New York some time! Also I really knew how to dress for a… https://t.co/abGoetpQoI

Is there anything better than watching this smiley face grow?? Love warming up with a tuner. I use tonal energy on my phone. Does any else use aps? Or are you strictly old school?

I got to visit with my first horn teacher Dorothy Katz!!! She is 95 years young and such an inspiration. Her stories about auditioning in the 1940's as a "short, Jewish, female" will give you nightmares. She LOVES… https://t.co/nYHQZZ6B4d

Reminiscing on one of my favorite performances! We won the ihs quartet competition and got to perform at one of the concerts. I am almost positive this was the most fun I have had on stage. I miss my quartet!! You… https://t.co/5CGZ4imFhP

Beethoven 3! 📯 This is one of my favorite excerpts and yet somehow when I get nervous I have a tendency to "ghost" the low Bbs! Since it is on practically every audition I made @michelshannon help me figure it out!… https://t.co/XGCrlvMksC

[Steph @StephSmithFH]

Love using my Yamaha Silent Brass mute! It allows me to practice while @michelshannon is teaching without distracting her kiddos! 📯 I don't utilize the microphone and headphone portion I just use it as a regular… https://t.co/DjbZj6ieq6

[Steph @StephSmithFH]

Probably the last day it would even be possible to play outside in Chicago.... Soaking up that vitamin D while @michelshannon teaches her kiddies. .

@michelshannon Yes!! I love seeing your practice videos!

[Steph @StephSmithFH]

Started my "No Tongue Challenge" today! The challenge is to play without using your tongue to articulate at all even after rests. 📯I love doing this because it immediately exposes things that need improvement. For… https://t.co/Tftq6UOuuq

Spotted this gem today from my childhood. Is anyone surprised I turned into a horn player? 📯📯📯Also I was so well groomed!

When the slide in the nursery you practice in kind of looks like your French horn.... I just hope I don't sound like an elephant 📯🤣📯
