Woodwinds
The UM School of Music Woodwind Faculty create a vibrant, challenging, and positive learning environment for all students. We are dedicated teachers and artists who guide our students towards excellence in all areas of focus, whether it is music education, music performance, or a more general degree, such as the popular Bachelor of Arts degree. The BA degree combines well with other degrees to create an enriching double major experience. We are committed to bringing guest artists to campus each year in order to provide diverse inspiration for students and faculty alike.
