Erika Wilsen, French horn teacher and performer
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 as well as my Master's in Horn Performance from the 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, professor of horn, coach, and clinician. I have worked as a French horn specialist at numerous universities, youth orchestras, high schools, and middle schools. In addition, I perform throughout California and teach local students. I am currently serving as the Adjunct Horn Professor at Concordia University Irvine.
