Welcome to Part 3 of our Summer 2025 series of short Bonus Episodes! At IHS40 (2008), hosted by Susan McCullough and Jesse McCormick at the Lamont School of Music in Denver, Colorado, Honorary Member Douglas Hill organized a series of four panel discussions, entitled "Pedagogical Pearls." The theme of this third session was "Studio Concerns in Specific Situations." The first guest is Marian Hesse, speaking about "Assessment in the Horn Studio," followed by William Scharnberg, who discusses "Dealing With Failure."
