Low Brass Studies - Study Music at Northwest

Welcome to the Northwest Low Brass Studio! Our mission is to be a valuable resource for low brass players. For more information about low brass playing and music study at Northwest Missouri State University, please visit Music at Northwest.

So you want to study music after high-school?  There are some things you (and your parents) should know about Northwest Missouri State University:

  • Northwest is a fantastic school for future music educators.  Our B.M.E. graduates teach instrumental, vocal, string, and elementary music at first-rate schools throughout the midwest. We also offer a Bachelor of Arts in Music (B.A.) degree.
  • Low brass students at Northwest have the opportunity to perform in concert bands, jazz ensembles, and athletic band. Applied low brass students take weekly lessons, in which all aspects of low brass playing are addressed. Low brass students perform for student recitals, senior recitals, and competitions both on and off campus. 
  • We offer competitive music performance scholarships to qualified students, regardless of major.  These are in addition to academic awards and federal financial aid.
  • Northwest offers financial benefits beyond scholarships as well.  All of our ensembles are available for "Activity Credit" (NO tuition cost); the Northwest textbook rental program can save students between $800-1,000 per year.

We highly recommend that prospective students visit campus during a school day to take an official campus tour, sit-in with ensembles/classes, and take a free low brass lesson.  This is really the best way to get a feel for the students, faculty, and general character of the campus.
