Between August 12th and 20th 2017 it will take place in Prague the 26th Interpretation Horn Courses, "HornClass 2017". I have already attended these amazing interpretation courses as a student, as a guest performing a horn solo recital, as a guest techer, and this year I was honoured to be invited to be one of the guest teachers together with Raimund Zell (Austria) and the Prague Horn Trio members, that host this courses (Jiří Havlík, Jindřich Petráš, Zdeněk Divoký).
There will be also other guests doing recitals, horn makers doing presentations of instruments and accessories.
I highly recommend these interpretation courses for their quality and also for being quite affordable, something that more than ever does matter!
For more information about these courses please take a look at:

Every music teacher knows the old story: the student that begins practicing his instrument without a metronome. After a while, he/she can't keep the same tempo, feel the subdivision, and even worse.. make mistakes without being aware of them. Also, a student without metronome can't practice the usual step by step increase/decrease exercises.
Excuses are more than many, but the most common is... it is too expensive! I understand that the financial situation of some families is not the best, so I did a search and found a metronome for as little as 3€ and 60 cents (free shipping).
A simple eBay search revealed some low-cost options, but you should select the Free Shipping and Buy Now options to avoid surprises.
I made a video to show the features...
I wish you a nice practicing session and now, since there are no more excuses...
ALWAYS WITH A METRONOME
