February 1 - May 3, 2025
In Young Winds, we provide small-group lessons and full band experience to elementary and middle school-age students who have already begun playing woodwind, brass, string (upright) bass, or percussion instruments. We supplement the instruction your child receives in school band programs, strengthening their musicianship in a safe and positive environment.
Brian Shaw is Assistant Professor in the Jacobs music education department, where he works with the next generation of music teachers.
