Trombone

Wind Instruments

The training of the winds classes ranges between the traditional and the modern, Dresden’s top orchestras and soloistic aspiration. Musicians from the Sächsischen Staatskapelle Dresden or the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra instruct alongside international soloists and renowned pedagogues.

Training

Broadly Diversified, Practically Oriented, Individually

The focus of the study programme is the development of an artistic personality with all its creative potential, who confidently meets the requirements of the current music business. The basis for this is the comprehensive technical and musical training and promotion of creativity and independence.

Focus Areas

In addition to regular main subject lessons and accompaniment, working in the university symphony orchestra is part of the training. Chamber music (trombone quartet, octet) as well as regular playing in the large brass ensemble of the HfM are part of the training. Students are free to place emphasis on early and new music. This guarantees a broad and individual training.

To round off the training, we strive to regularly welcome renowned guest teachers to the HfM Dresden.

Gain Concert Experience

Regular playing in the university orchestra with other students as well as the various brass ensembles (trio, quartet, quintet, larger brass ensemble/10-piece ensemble) as well as individually planned projects provide important insights into professional practice. Class concerts and concerts as part of excursions take place regularly.

Ensembles

Flexible Training

Depending on your personal goals, you can choose between artistic and instrumental pedagogical training. In the artistic courses it is possible to take instruments such as alto trombone, tenor horn/euphonium and contrabass trombone as a secondary instrument.
