我们的学生来自当今世界各个角落，其中包括一些最好的年轻音乐家。IU的巴松管演奏家受益于处于极为活跃的音乐环境中，数百名才华横溢的音乐家正在努力追求最高的音乐成就。两位杰出的教授，威廉·路德维希（William Ludwig）和凯瑟琳·麦克莱恩（Kathleen McLean）挑战他们的学生，以在音乐，专业和教学法上不断扩大视野。凭借管弦乐队表演，室内音乐，独奏录音和教学法的背景，学生每天都可以接触到各种各样的知识和卓越的音乐。
Learning to understand and enjoy music builds a vast array of skills that benefits every student. While most music students do not go on to become professional performers, the experience of learning an instrument, performing in a band or choir, and enjoying the challenges and camaraderie as part of these experiences in school, make music education very rewarding.
