Offered in: Chicago

The CCPA woodwinds, brass, and percussion programs prepare students for careers as solo, chamber music, and large ensemble performers, while instilling habits consistent with success in the professional environment.

The programs' objectives are to:

• Develop performative capabilities, addressing technical proficiency, knowledge of history and practice specific to their instrument family, and broad awareness of musical styles and repertory;
• Develop musicianship through a comprehensive curriculum of written and aural skills, conducting, analysis, history, and literature;
• Train effective musical collaboration through guided experiences in large and small ensemble performances, studying music of all periods and genres (including new music and opera);
• Balance the skills-focused music curriculum with a wide choice of academic electives;
• Acclimate students to the entrepreneurial challenges and opportunities of a music career.

All jury and recital repertoire requirements are listed on the Requirements tab within the academic catalogue.
