Horn

Under the tutelage of Gail Williams and Jonathan Boen, Miranda graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Music from Northwestern University. Her undergraduate studies specialized in horn performance with a minor in Spanish. She is currently pursuing a Master of Music degree from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Miranda currently studies with hornist David Heyde. In addition, she is an active freelance musician in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and a private French horn instructor. In her free time, Miranda enjoys practicing yoga, camping, and crocheting.
