Empowering Notes:
Building Confidence in Musicianship
About this Program
This education-centered initiative reflects Adelante Winds' mission by cultivating hands-on learning experiences that build musical skills, business skills and confidence in students and emerging artists.
​
Check out some clips from our recent education engagements at San Angelo State University and Summer Music in Tuscany:
Student Faculty Joint Performance
We partner with student musicians at festivals like Summer Music in Tuscany, offering joint performances that elevate artistic standards while fostering professional ensemble skills.
Masterclasses
Our resident artists lead dynamic masterclasses designed to demystify technique and performance practices. You can see an example here, at our seminar for the Philadelphia High School for Girls band program, where oboist Freddie Blood shared techniques on breath support and musical expression.
Seminar at
San Angelo State University
In seminars like those at San Angelo State University, members of Adelante Winds discuss both the artistry and practical realities of building and sustaining a professional chamber ensemble, giving students tools for long-term success.
Check out what people are saying:
"Having the Adelante Winds come and work with our students at Angelo State University was an absolute delight. Their performance was a great example of artistry at the professional level. I greatly appreciated the diversity and relevancy of the works performed at their concert. The masterclasses were very insightful and a great learning experience for every student who had the opportunity to participate. All members of the Adelante Winds are highly approachable and all-around easy to talk to. I am thankful that they were willing to talk to our students not only about their playing, but also about their lives and what it actually means to be a professional musician, and how that can be achieved. During their residency, the Adelante Winds did an amazing job at educating, performing, and emulating what it means to be a professional musician in the modern world to our students. I hope to collaborate with them again in the future!"
