ABOUT ME

MY PROFILE

My name is Dr. Elliott Stanger and I am a horn player based in Greensboro, North Carolina. I earned my degrees from Northern Illinois University and The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. 

I am currently the horn professor at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee and maintain a thriving horn studio in North Carolina as well. I maintain an active performing schedule with the Greensboro and Winston Salem symphonies and was principal horn of the Durham Symphony for seven seasons.

MY PHILOSOPHY

Playing a musical instrument shouldn’t be considered “work.” We practice and play our instrument just like an athlete practices and plays their sport. When we put in the effort, playing music is engaging, rewarding, and fun! I encourage my students to love their instrument, their music-making, and learning, no matter their age or background. I set clear goals for each lesson and expect my students to try their best to meet them

MY SERVICES

APPLIED LESSONS

Private music lessons are the best way to learn core fundamentals and techniques on your chosen instrument. I offer lessons on horn, trumpet, and trombone! 

COLLEGE PREP

The college application process gets more complex every year! I am eager to help  students with the transition to college, as well as prepare for auditions and expectations of college music teachers!

MUSIC THEORY

Music theory enables us to understand the structure and meaning behind a musical composition. It is also the number one reason why college freshman struggle in music school. Let's work on it together!
