Woodwind section performing on stage for Kaleidoscope

Woodwind students at the Cali School of Music develop their technique, musicianship, and artistic voice through focused study in performance, literature, theory, and pedagogy. Students work closely with faculty whose careers span major orchestras, Broadway, chamber music, and newly commissioned solo works.

Through solo performance, ensembles, masterclasses, and the cultural opportunities of nearby New York City, students build the confidence and versatility needed for a life in music. In a rigorous and supportive environment, woodwind players grow as skilled performers, thoughtful collaborators, and creative artists.
