Landon Geitzenauer

I am a horn player and music educator based in Northwest Arkansas with a passion for helping students grow into confident, expressive musicians. I am certified to teach band K–12 and specializes in private horn instruction, where I aims to foster both technical skill and artistic expression. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a safe, encouraging environment where students feel supported as they work toward their personal goals.
I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Horn Performance at the University of Arkansas, where I serve as a Graduate Teaching Assistant. I earned my Bachelor of Music Education degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2024, graduating Magna Cum Laude. My journey as a performer and educator has been shaped by incredible mentors including Dr. Katey Jahnke, Dr. Matthew Reynolds, Dr. Eldon Matlick, and Dr. Mike Misner.

In my teaching, I emphasize a structured yet flexible approach tailored to each student’s unique goals and learning style. Whether working with beginners or advanced players, I focus on developing strong fundamentals, musical awareness, and consistent practice habits. I strives to cultivate a studio culture that values curiosity, accountability, and joy in the learning process. My goal is for every student to leave a lesson feeling more confident and more connected to their instrument. Many of my former students have found success in audition preparation with admittance into the University of Arkansas music program, Shortgrass Honor Band, and the Central Oklahoma Directors Association (CODA) honor band.
