Overview

Texas Christian University's Brass course brings a broad array of guest artists, who are leaders in every corner of the profession, to perform on campus. Whether it’s hosting music festival events and concerts, clinics or guest artist recitals by legendary jazz, studio, orchestral, period and cutting-edge contemporary artists, TCU is a hub for renowned artists.

Key Features

As a comprehensive music school within a liberal arts university, we’re large enough to offer world-class musical opportunities, yet small enough to ensure a personalized musical experience with one-on-one mentoring from leading experts. At the same time, you’ll be part of the larger TCU community—a highly ranked national university providing students with unique intellectual challenges and unlimited opportunities.

Career

Our students go on to teach or perform in venues and groups, from symphony orchestras to military bands. TCU graduates also include music producers, music engineers, arts managers, instructors and private studio owners.
