Clarinet, Flute, Saxophone & Recorder

Our woodwinds program is great for students who play an instrument in school band/orchestra, and who would like to improve their skills through private study. Weekly lessons with a professional, plus 2 yearly recitals focusing on solo music, will foster a deeper knowledge and understanding of music and connection to the instrument. Other benefits include technical development, sight-reading skills, theory, ear training, interpretation, and many other topics that would never be covered through group lessons in school.

The Goldens Bridge Studio program in drums is a comprehensive approach based on well-researched teaching techniques. Our well rounded curriculum covers everything from basic musicianship, ear training, rhythm reading, to stick technique, and drumkit. Opportunities for performance development include recitals, and ensemble concerts. Although we cannot offer London College of Music examinations at this time, we do adhere to the LCM curriculum, which ensures logical progression, and development. We also promote the NYSSMA snare drum requirements for all students, as well as participation in the yearly adjudication. Many of our students also participate in their school band/orchestra, and we offer support and training to succeed in this area.
