Meet Annette- Customer Service Specialist/Road Representative
Q. Where did you go to school?
A. I have a Bachelor of Music from St. Norbert College and a Master of Music from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Q. What is your favorite instrument?
A. My favorite instrument is the French Horn. I
love the versatility of the horn. Not only does one play with other brass
players in a brass quintet, but the horn also is a member of the woodwind
quintet. You will also see the horn in both the concert band and symphony
orchestra settings. I also love the timbre of the horn. From the warm and
mellow to the bright and brassy!
Q. What do you love about working at Instrumental Music Company?
A. Instrumental Music Company cares about its employees. They are flexible
with working with me on being able to go to my rehearsals and concerts in the
evenings, being able to leave work a bit early so that I can get there safe.
Q. Do you do anything with music outside of Instrumental Music Company?
A. Yes, I do plenty outside of Instrumental Music Company. I play my
French Horn all over. I am principal horn for the Sheboygan Symphony. I also
perform with the Oshkosh Symphony Orchestra, Manitowoc Symphony Orchestra,
Silver Lake Wind Ensemble, Chalumeau Winds Woodwind Quintet, Manitowoc Marine
Band and various other groups. I am also a member of the 132nd Army
National Guard Band. And, from time to time, teach lessons in what spare time I
have!
Q. What is your advice for beginning musicians?
A. My advice for the beginning musician is to keep
on trying! Learning an instrument for the first time can be very difficult.
Your facial muscles and finger muscles are doing something for the first time
that they are not use to doing! Practicing helps to build up your muscle
strength and memorization, along with air control and support. Remember, it’s
not a breeze instrument…it’s a WIND instrument!
