Trombone

Pursue perfection. Achieve excellence.

Four faculty professors, all current or former members of the San Francisco Symphony and Ballet and Opera orchestras, lead a small department of student trombonists. You'll have opportunities to perform with resident ensembles such as the Conservatory Orchestra and chamber groups, with emphasis on both contemporary and classical music, and to enter a biennial brass concerto competition.
