Denise Figueroa was exposed to music at an early age under her father’s wings.  Starting with  piano at age 8, yet exposed to hearing the magnificent sound of the horn, she was immediately charmed with the sound of the French Horn at the age of 13.  Denise started music lessons at Specialized School of Music in Caguas Puerto Rico. She continued her love for music and studied in the Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico.  She earned her degree in  music performance at Florida Atlantic University.  Denise has performed in diverse orchestras and ensembles throughout the states. She has performed with Mississippi Symphony Orchestra and  Belhaven Symphony Orchestra. Her passion and mastery on the French Horn has given her the desire to teach and inspire young horn players as role model throughout different schools and music organizations.

In addition to performing, she has taught choirs and A Capella groups with great success as students have earned and performed in All State and Carnegie Hall competitions.
