Erika Wilsen, horn performer & instructor
 PictureStates represented by Erika's Students
Welcome to my online horn studio! My name is Erika Wilsen, and I am a professional French horn teacher and performer based in the Greater Los Angeles Area. I hold my Doctor of Musical Arts in Horn Performance from UCLA and a Master's in Horn Performance from University of Michigan. I have extensive experience in both performing and teaching. 

I have taught horn for more than 25 years, as a private instructor, horn professor, coach, and clinician. My online teaching experience started in 2012, when a local student moved to the east coast and missed lessons. As a horn specialist, I've taught at numerous universities, youth orchestras, middle, and high schools. I perform throughout California and teach local students. Since 2021, I have served as the Adjunct Horn Professor at Concordia University Irvine.

Lessons are 30, 45, or 60 minutes, depending on the student's level, experience, and goals. Students range from beginners through advanced levels and are of all ages and backgrounds (10 and up). Check out the Lesson Information or the FAQ for prospective students.

Many students are in California but students hail from across the United States (20+ states) and abroad, including from Canada, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
