Training

The Brass pathway supports applied and ensemble development on trumpet, horn, trombone, euphonium or tuba for students whose primary degree lies outside music.

It emphasizes breath, tone, articulation and collaborative performance within a concise minor.

Performance & Productions

Georgia College includes musicianship, theory and history experiences shared with music majors, giving brass students an analytical base for their performance work.

Coursework involving diverse musical cultures expands the range of contexts considered, so the minor integrates instrumental growth with historical and cultural understanding.
