Symphonic Woodwinds is an intermediate level class designed to give more individualized attention to students that play a woodwind instrument. The daily work and music selected will be used to advance the technique and musicality of the students to a higher level. The literature is moderate in nature and is selected to enhance the knowledge of styles and periods of music. Students are encouraged to study privately to develop on their individual instrument. At the conclusion of the first semester, students may be considered for placement into one of the top level ensembles. This will be based on past performance in the class and instrumentation needs in the top
two ensembles.
