What graduates say about the program
"I'm playing more easily. I don't get as tired as quickly. Even after a heavy day of playing, the next day I can get back right on. I can just play like it's another day."
“"I played that violin concerto exactly as I heard it in my head. The most gentle, easy, sweet B5 I've ever played. It made me weep."”
Mike Pandorf
Horn Professional, Seattle
“I played the end of Concertstuck and the entire scale up to E6, not just once, but multiple times!”
Mollie Pate
Louisiana Philharmonic
“My high range is no longer konzertSTUCK! There is no way I could have safely attempted the first horn part before High Range Magic. To have recorded proof of myself playing one of the most epic moments is surreal.”
Sebastian Dunn
NZ Symphony Orchestra
“High C was generally my ceiling. Thanks to High Range Magic, miraculously I can climb those stairs and push that ceiling higher and higher.”
Christopher Gough
Principal Horn, BBC Scottish Symphony
“Going into High Range Magic I was a scared and timid player. Now I have relaxed, confident control over 5 octaves. High Range Magic completely changed the way I approach the horn.”
Justin Phillips
High Range Magic Graduate
“I increased my range by at least 1 octave, playing easily up to high G above high C. I have so much more confidence and ability. It feels so good to hear my improvements.”
Debbie Lowes
High Range Magic Graduate
“My first concert since joining High Range Magic and I haven't felt so comfortable in many years. The high notes were not stressful and I got to the last page with plenty of fuel in the tank. At 67 years of age!”
Mervyn Stephens
High Range Magic Graduate
“The founder of my brass quintet said, 'Man, Jack, you sound great. Where are you auditioning?' I hadn't yet told him I was.”
Jack Levoska
High Range Magic Graduate
“This method has changed my mind-set and my life. My increase in range, endurance and confidence has put me in a position where I am in demand more than ever.”
Alan Pefley
High Range Magic Graduate
“I am so glad I took the plunge. This is the horn player I was always meant to be!”
Marian
High Range Magic Graduate
“The day I nailed the double high C squeak and didn't even know it. I learned that I am an amazing high horn player. The sky is the limit, just go for it!”
Ellen Klein
High Range Magic Graduate
“I can play a high F above high C without even setting or thinking about it. The high range has no limits, and I can partake in the high range party anytime I choose.”
Mat Boatright
High Range Magic Graduate
“I played high notes I didn't think were even possible on the horn. I can play a double high C. I found a renewed sense of joy and drive in my music-making.”

How It Works
While we often develop custom plans for our students, the basic High Range Magic experience is 4 months, in an online group program. You get live coaching as well as a comprehensive 12-module video curriculum that’s been described as “life changing”.
The curriculum covers mindset, practice habits, mechanics, relaxation, musicianship, and integration, developing confident, expressive, full-range horn playing in a surprisingly short amount of time. It’s called magic for a reason!
