The woodwind performance degree programs are designed to acquaint students with a wide range of musical styles through a multitude of performing opportunities. Students work with a faculty of top New York area professionals in chamber ensembles (woodwind quintets, saxophone quartets, flute ensemble, clarinet choir, woodwind doubling ensemble, and mixed instrumental groups), jazz combos, large ensembles (NJCU Orchestra, Symphony of Winds & Percussion, NJCU Jazz Ensemble, Lab Band, and Studio Orchestra), and University productions (operas and musicals). Undergraduates also benefit from weekly coaching sessions with a staff accompanist.
