Western’s Young Winds Program provides students from the local community with instrumental music education supplementary to that provided by the students' school bands. The program focuses on small group lessons as well as a full band experience. Primary teachers are a select group of students from the Western University instrumental music teacher program.
Who can participate?
The program provides instruction for instrumental students in grades six, seven, eight, or nine. Students who are already studying one of the traditional concert band instruments and may not have the opportunity to participate in a formal ensemble at their school are also welcome. Students who have studied one of the following instruments for at least six months are eligible to participate in the program: Flute*, Oboe, Bassoon, Clarinet*, Bass Clarinet, Saxophone* (all types), Horn, Trumpet*, Baritone Horn/Euphonium, Trombone, Tuba, and Percussion*.
*The number of participants is limited for some instruments. Registration is first come, first served.
