Your Training

Every aspect of your brass training at The Boston Conservatory focuses on you and your professional readiness, with the added benefit of low teacher-to-student ratio. Specific performance issues of brass instruments are addressed in weekly seminar classes, where students are given the opportunity to perform. Your non-traditional brass training includes classes in Alexander Technique, jazz improvisation and career skills.
