At the program of Wind Instruments and Percussion of the Music Department, the students are trained mostly by experienced well known artists (tutors) and the students are provided with the opportunity to make use of their experiences and archives. The Conservatory library which is rich enough can be referred to as a resource for scores of pieces to be played and to make research, as well.
The students have the chance to give concerts not only with the Conservatory Academic Orchestra or recitals personally, but also attend other national or international facilities organized by the Conservatory. It is also a good opportunity for especially those students to be able to play with the Bursa State Symphony Orchestra as part time or full time artists.
The Conservatory building provides various opportunities to progress in the quality of education. The financial support of our university for this building and the interior design is a significant advantage of this program.
