Members of the Woodwind, Brass, and Percussion Division have earned international recognition as both performers and pedagogues. Their strong commitment to teaching and to the individual development of students is evidenced in the outstanding placement record of Butler School of Music graduates, who hold positions in major orchestras and at music schools across the country.

The artist/teachers of the Woodwind, Brass and Percussion Division bring to their studios the background and experience garnered through many years as professional performing and recording artists. These experiences span a wide spectrum of idioms including major symphony orchestras, solo appearances, chamber ensembles, nationally recognized jazz ensembles, and all areas of the studio recording field.

Students, whether music majors or non-majors, are offered performing experiences in all major ensembles of the Butler School of Music and in instrumental ensembles unique to their instruments, such as Bassoon Ensemble, Saxophone Choir, Horn Choir, Trombone Choir, Tuba/Euphonium Ensemble, and Percussion Ensemble.
