Wind instruments

At the Academy, you can study jazz/pop wind instruments including the trumpet, trombone, clarinet, and saxophone.

You will become part of an active study environment in which you participate in ensemble playing and cross-disciplinary projects at the Academy and elsewhere in addition to main subject tuition and other elementary subjects.

As a wind instrument player, you will find yourself in high demand in many contexts, and you will experience very diverse networking options and creative opportunities.

Study environment

Through ensemble playing and various projects, you will gain lots of inspiration from fellow students, teachers, and guest teachers.

The RAMA Big Band is a central feature for wind instrument students. The band explores various genres and forms of expression and gains inspiration from visiting musicians from all over the world. In recent years, respected musicians such as Palle Mikkelborg, Pierre Bertrand, and Jørgen Munkeby have collaborated with the big band.
