Trombone at YSM
The trombone program at the Yale School of Music offers students opportunities to develop their skills, explore repertoire from early to new music, and perform in chamber music and orchestral settings. Trombonists participate in regular private lessons and seminar classes.
In addition to performing solo repertoire, trombone students participate in chamber music, an integral part of the Yale School of Music experience. Students explore early repertoire and techniques in the Yale Cornetto and Sackbut Ensemble, play in various contemporary ensembles in the New Music New Haven concert series, and perform in the School’s orchestra, the Yale Philharmonia. These opportunities offer students the experience of performing a wide variety of repertoire under the leadership of acclaimed guest conductors.
