International Direct - Bachelor of Music - Performance - Woodwind

Through a rigorous and nurturing education, Pacific prepares woodwind students to succeed in a wide range of career possibilities, including orchestral and performing careers and careers in teaching or broader entrepreneurial pursuits. The Pacific Woodwind Faculty are committed to post-graduation success, and nurturing relationships continue as the graduate moves into the world of work. The Pacific Arts Woodwind Quintet performs often, giving Pacific students an opportunity to observe their teachers on a regular basis.

A significant characteristic of Woodwind study at Pacific is the one-on-one nurturing and personal attention given by the faculty to each student in weekly lessons. This is reflected in Pacific policy: performance majors get two lessons a week their junior and senior years, and all music majors receive lessons from the primary professor. Excellent staff pianists provide ample opportunity to hone collaborative skills and are available to all music students. In addition to private lessons, students have weekly opportunities to perform with and for their colleagues. These opportunities include Studio Classes, Chamber Music Class, the Orchestral Repertoire and Audition Preparation Seminar, as well as Pacific Solo Class. In these settings, Pacific provides learning environments where students learn in a group setting about the fundamentals of their instruments and the varied aspects of performing.
