Wind Instrument Studies will focus on techniques necessary for performance of wind band and orchestral literature. These include breathing, instrument-specific techniques, and musical concepts such as pitch, rhythm, harmony, phrasing and interpretation, history, and theory which are vital to performance in any musical situation.  Wind Instrument Studies is an introduction to the skills necessary for performance in Wind Ensemble. Performances will occur as much or as little as is necessary for the development of the students in the course.
