Training

•The BM Brass performance focus gives sustained private instruction on a principal brass instrument, reinforced by Instrumental Master Class and advanced repertory work.

•Theory, aural skills, history and literature build the musical knowledge required for professional interpretation and performance.

Performance

•Brass musicians can apply studio work in Wind Ensemble, Pep Band, chamber music and other departmental ensembles.

•UAA describes the Performance Emphasis as a professional degree aimed at high technical competence and the concepts and sensitivities necessary for a performing career; the brass plan therefore places the primary instrument and ensemble work at its center.
