Frøydis Ree Wekre

Frøydis Ree Wekre  is a horn player born in 1941 and was born from a musical family. Before playing the horn she studied piano and violin, while playing in a Junior Orchestra in Norway. Frøydis only picked up the horn at the age of seventeen due to loving the sound.

Frøydis won her first position in an orchestra in 1961- she was 20.... she had been playing the horn for only four years...

After playing in the orchestra for a while she retired to become a full time teacher of Horn. There was one sentence that stood out to me in her bio on the Internation Horn Society website...

"She advocates practicing lip and mouthpiece buzzing while waiting for a bus, even if it might be considered a bit eccentric; "If people don't know you, it doesn't matter what they think of you, and if they do know you, well, then it's not a surprise."

Great idea to do soemthing and not care about how a random person portrays you for doing it!

I included this video, even though it is 40 mins long, but it teaches you about her ideas on teaching, intonation, whistling and buzzing at bus stops.
