Eli’s Book

        Horn Playing from the Inside Out

“Horn playing is an inside job. How we approach every aspect of playing comes from within. From centering ourselves before a practice session to feeling the breath move in and flow out of our bodies as sound, we are focused on the inside.

“The materials and ideas in this book have had many reincarnations over the last 25 years. I wanted to see if there were universal tools that we could reliably use to take the technical mysteries out of horn playing in order to allow a greater sense of freedom and enjoyment. I discovered with great excitement that these principles were indeed helpful to others.” —Eli Epstein
