Ted Nash's Project Student Horn

Grammy-nominated artist Ted Nash enjoys an extraordinary career as a performer, conductor, composer, arranger, and educator. Born in Los Angeles, multi-instrumentalist Nash's interest in music started at an early age. He was exposed to music and encouraged by his father, trombonist Dick Nash, and uncle, reedman Ted Nash—both well-known studio and jazz musicians

PROJECT STUDENT HORN

“I am pleased to tell you about a new initiative, Project Student Horn, which aims to provide high quality, professional saxophones at an extremely low cost to students who may otherwise not be able to afford them.

Through Project Student Horn, I have discovered vintage horns that have great sound, solid mechanics, and good intonation. These horns are fully repaired, with new mouthpieces from Beechler, neck straps, ligatures and caps. The horn will also come with a video of me playing and talking about the specific horn, along with some practice tips.

This year, I am working exclusively with alto saxophones and in very limited availability. Interested students must be able to demonstrate need for this highly discounted program and must have the recommendation of their middle or high school band directors, who can speak to the student's need."
