Developing you, the artist, as wind ensemble conductor is the goal of NEC’s Wind Ensemble Conducting program. Graduate degrees offered are the Master of Music and the Doctor of Musical Arts.

A rigorous curriculum guides you through the breadth and depth of all music, but specifically wind music. Private studio lessons are the foundation of your work. These lessons place heavy emphasis on the analysis of music for informed performances. You are assured podium time with live musicians in a class situation, in reading sessions, or in rehearsal with either the NEC Wind Ensemble or Jordan Winds.
