Meet the People—Horn and More Student Liaison

by Inman Hebert

My name is Inman Hebert. My first introduction to the horn came with our junior high band program. Six years later, I am graduating from Prattville High School in Central Alabama, and in the fall, I will attend the University of Alabama to pursue a music performance degree while studying with Charles “Skip” Snead.

In my private lessons with Dr. Brenda Luchsinger, horn professor at Alabama State University and the Alabama state coordinator for the International Horn Society, she encouraged me to join the IHS. I have been a proud member for the past four years, and I currently have the privilege of serving on the Student Advisory Board.

I plan to integrate more student-oriented content into the Horn and More newsletter, and I am always open to your ideas. Particularly, I would like to feature young winners of prominent solo competitions, accentuating the diverse stories behind the young stars of our community. Additionally, I want to highlight the various opportunities available for young horn players, from camps to competitions and symposiums.

The horn community’s generosity during the pandemic with its online offerings opened my eyes to the experiences available to horn players. By contributing content in an online format, I hope to increase the participation of the younger generation in the IHS and encourage them to explore.
