Woodwind Studies

Overview

Through core courses in music research, music history/literature, and music performance, you’ll learn to identify, analyze, and deftly perform repertoire from the 18th to the 21st centuries. You can further tailor your curriculum toward your specific interests and musical goals through three elective courses in areas such as music technology and performing arts administration.

At the Woodwind Studies MM program from New York University you’ll also work on your skills as a musician by choosing from a range of performance classes and specializing in traditional to contemporary music. You’ll work closely with our renowned faculty – who are top commercial and symphonic woodwind performers both here in New York City and around the world – through private instruction and by performing together both on and off campus.

Whatever the career path you envision, whether a performer, teacher, researcher, or administrator, we will provide you with the expertise and opportunities necessary to realize your goals.
