The Mason Gross brass program offers undergraduate and graduate degrees, providing a rich curriculum of courses spanning performance practice, private instruction, practical research, and hands-on training. Classes are small, and performance opportunities are abundant. The brass program supplies students with a firm foundation for a career in music, whether the goal is to perform, teach, or prepar
e for further study. Students receive a weekly 60-minute lesson with their major performance teacher. Participation in recitals and ensembles is an essential aspect of the program. The brass faculty boasts members of the New York Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera Orchesta, and prominent free-lance artists.
