Life
Horn grew up as the son of the mathematician Manfred Horn and the doctor Ursula Horn in Jena . After an early musical education in the boys' choir of the Jena Philharmonic , he received his first drum lessons at the age of 16 . Since he refused to take part in the military classes of the GDR , he was not admitted to the Abitur despite good school performance. So he initially trained as a nurse and submitted an exit application in 1988 , which was only approved in 1989 after the inner-German border had already opened.
After moving to Lower Saxony, he initially worked as a nurse and played in various rock bands. He continued his musical education at private music schools such as the Frankfurter Musikwerkstatt and the Freiburg Jazz and Rock School . 1995–1997 he studied jazz / pop at the Liszt School of Music in Weimar and discovered jazz as the “musical love of his life”. 1998–1999 he continued his jazz studies at Leeds College of Music in Great Britain and supplemented it with master classes and lessons with Peter Erskine , Chester Thompson , Joe Porcaro , Bill Bruford , Holger Nell and others.

In addition to individual one-to-one lessons on the instrument, the teaching concept also includes joint theory lessons and the interaction of the students in groups (band training).
