Woodwind Studies at Georgia Southern



Brass 1In addition to the bands and orchestras, students in the woodwind area have the opportunity to perform in GSU Flutes, Clarinet Choir, Clarinet Quartet, the Southern Saxophone Quartet, and Southern Saxophones as well as mixed chamber ensembles. Each of these groups is active on campus and in the community. Woodwind students also participate in the Georgia Music Educators' Association All College Band and have been winners of the Georgia Music Teachers' Association Spring Auditions and the Southern Georgia Symphony's concerto competition. Our students also attend summer music programs such as the Aria Music Fest, Wild Acres, and Interlochen.

Members of the woodwind faculty are active performers with area orchestras, in solo and chamber music recitals, and at national and international conferences such as the International Clarinet Festival, the World Saxophone Congress, the National Flute Association, and the Festival of Women Composers International. Each year, prominent artists such as the Verdehr Trio, the Zagreb Saxophone Quartet, and Eugene Rousseau are guests for performances and master classes. Winds at Southern is the annual day of master classes and performances for high school students.
