About Me

My name is Simon Schumann, I’m a musician and pedagogue based in Frankfurt/Main. I studied Music Education at Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt majoring in Horn and Vocals. After my first state examination I completed a diploma in horn performance. I currently work as a freelance musician, music educator and composer/arranger in Frankfurt and the Rhine- Main area.

As well as teaching instruments and leading the ensemble at Frankfurt’s Brass Academy Frankfurter Bläserschule, I work as a hornist in several ensembles for which I also compose and arrange. My band “The Velvet Chords” that I also arrange for has been supported by the state grant “Hessen kulturell neu eröffnen” since November 2020.

Composition & Arrangements

I compose and arrange for ensembles featuring several line-ups and standards of competence such as horn quartets, mixed vocal groups as well as larger arrangements for orchestra, choir and soloists. All works have been tried and tested and are uploaded onto my Youtube channel on a regular basis!

I am actively engaging in several orchestras, groups and bands that I’m also supporting creatively as an arranger. I am open-minded with regards to the genres I work with. Please find a selection of my current projects here.

Tuition and ensemble conducting

Due to my long-standing teaching activity I have a wealth of experience that helps me to individually look after each student and unlock their individual potential. As well as teaching the basic principles of playing brass instruments it is very important to me to teach the development of sound. In order to achieve this, I show an interest in each and every student and focus on their personal strengths and abilities. To structure the lessons as goal-oriented and motivating as possible I offer students the opportunity to take part in concerts and class performances on a regular basis. I also help students prepare for competitions and entrance examinations.

As part of my work as ensemble director at Frankfurter Bläserschule I coach several brass bands whose members vary in age groups, standards and line-ups. My main focus is to convey the joy of making music together as well as championing a sense of community within the group and their mid- to long-term development.

Publications

Some of my arrangements were published by Verlag Martin Schmid – Blechbläsernoten in October 2020, ranging from literature for beginners to horn quartets to large brass bands. These represent a selection of my work as an arranger at Frankfurter Bläserschule. All of my work is field-tested, playable in various formations and adapted towards the special features of the instruments and the abilities of the individual players.
