Course Description

The BA (Hons) Musical Instrument Craft (Woodwind Making and Repair) degree programme is designed to help produce skilled craftspeople who are able to repair a whole range of instruments in the woodwind family, from piccolo to saxophone.

The programme aims to introduce the precise skills needed which are taught in our well-equipped workshop.

The course has a making component which has traditionally focused on the manufacture of a Boehm system clarinet, in more recent years we have diversified and students have also made oboes, flutes, bassoons and even soprano saxophones all from basic raw materials. The work on these projects starts in the second year and culminates in the third year with the student's final major project.

The programme is housed on the Newark campus, providing easy access to computer facilities, specialist books and other College amenities.

The programme has excellent links with industry. Companies regularly contact the College to offer employment opportunities. Previous graduates have gone on to work for a wide range of instrument manufacturers and repairers. Many have also started their own successful businesses, and in turn provide employment for other students as they graduate.
