Brass

Brass studies + numerous opportunities

Welcome to the brass area at the Dana School of Music! No matter the path you wish to pursue professionally, you can begin that journey here.  We offer undergraduate and graduate programs that focus on euphonium, horn, trombone, trumpet, and tuba.

Collaboration forms the foundation of our brass area. Our distinguished faculty’s dedication and personal mentorship fuels an environment where students can unlock their full potential. The robust curricula includes weekly private lessons, studio classes, large and chamber ensembles, small group coaching in solo, chamber, orchestral, and jazz repertoire, and masterclasses with renowned guest artists.
