Woodwinds

The TCU School of Music offers the following degree programs in woodwinds:

• Bachelor of Music in wind and percussion performance
• Bachelor of Music Education with an instrumental concentration
• Master of Music in wind and percussion performance
• Doctor of Musical Arts in performance

The School of Music also offers a Bachelor of Arts in music and a music minor.

In addition, the School of Music offers the Artist Diploma program for exceptional woodwind performers who seek a conservatory approach rather than the traditional course of study leading to an academic degree with a performance major. It’s available to post-baccalaureate students.

Scholarship support is available for talented undergraduate and graduate music majors. Assistantships that include full-tuition remission plus a stipend are available for graduate students.
