Welcome, IHS visitors!

Ready for change?

Are you stuck in your range or endurance? Whether you dream of nailing the Weber Concertino or just making it through a Tchaikovsky 3rd horn part, the key lies in how, what, and why you practice.

The good news is, you don’t have to struggle alone anymore.

It's not your fault, and it's not permanent

You've worked hard, but high notes still feel elusive. Maybe you've even dealt with injury or embarrassment on stage.

You’re not alone—many horn players face this, in part due to huge issues with the typical way that brass players learn.

What if the problem isn't you, but the approach you're using?

Meet your guide, Mars Gelfo

I struggled for decades - even as a professional - with range, endurance, and confidence. 

Due to my inefficient mechanics, high baseline tension, and miscalibrated mindset, I often felt frustrated and defeated. I experienced the heartbreak of falling short in auditions, performances, even my practice room ambitions. It sucked!  

Searching for answers over 3 continents​ and 20 years, I finally "cracked the code". Now I help players like you to make progress they often say they could have only dreamed of.

The best part? Using a holistic approach, we do it in months, not years.
 

Crossing the threshold

You can walk away in cynicism, creating the same results as yesterday.
 
Or you can try a new path.

Your first step

You can book a free consult below with me or someone on my teaching faculty. We'll look at where you are and help you map out a plan to get there more quickly and with more fun than you thought possible.

Or if you need more info first, watch my IHS 56 presentation, "How to Solve High Range Forever", where I show more details on the path. 

You've got nothing to lose - except the frustration of being stuck. Want to see what's possible?
