Winds Instruments Program
Welcome to Our Winds Program
Winds instruments—flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, French horn, and more—play an essential role in both solo and ensemble music. At New Classical Art School, our winds program is designed to support students at every stage, from building a solid foundation to excelling in school bands and competitive auditions.
Our goal is to balance professional training with the joy of music-making, ensuring that students develop strong technical skills while also finding personal expression and enjoyment.
