Brass
The Brass Area at the NIU School of Music is dedicated to creating brass players equipped for the challenges of the 21st century musical world while offering an education based in sound instrumental technique and exceptional musicianship. We offer courses of study in Euphonium, Horn, Trombone, Trumpet and Tuba, featuring faculty that are renowned performers and educators who will help you achieve your musical goals and create a vision for a fulfilling career in music.
As a music major, in addition to the music core curriculum, you’ll work with our world-renown brass faculty in weekly lessons. You will learn the artistry to build a performing career in diverse musical settings including symphony orchestra, concert or military band, chamber music groups, contemporary music ensembles, commercial music and entrepreneurship skills to become musical innovators for your own unique ensembles.
As the laboratory of musical collaboration, brass chamber music and ensembles is something we highly value at NIU. We have dedicated weekly chamber music time built into the schedule. You will learn how to listen, respond and use your expression to communicate musically with their colleagues and foster musicianship skills that transfer to all other musical pursuits.
