 Winds
and Percussion
Dan Farris, Coordinator
d-farris@northwestern.edu
Gives young artists the opportunity to study and perform a wide expanse of
music literature for large ensembles, chamber ensembles, and instrumental
solos under the direction of well-established conductors and professional
musicians. Classes include music history, music theory, and conducting. All
students participate in the wind ensemble and may audition for a chair in
the orchestra as well.

Private Instruction
 As part of the required curriculum, students attend one-hour private lessons
weekly with our performance faculty. During this time students primarily address
technique, solo literature, and performance practice. Additionally, chamber
and ensemble literature may be coached. Private lessons are part of the standard
tuition charges and do not pose an additional expense.
