List of euphonium instructors
Many colleges with music programs now offer students the opportunity as music performance or applied music students to major in euphonium. In some cases they will study with a professor whose major instrument is not the euphonium. Often tubas and euphoniums will be combined into a studio taught by one professor, and at small schools they may be taught by a single low brass professor. Dr. Brian Bowman, Demondrae Thurman, and Dr. Marc Dickman serve as the only three full-time euphonium college professors in the US.
College Euphonium Studios/Teachers
Below are some of the United States' largest and most successful college euphonium studios listed alphabetically, along with their teachers. These studios are likely to be larger than most, and either have one or more graduate students or have sent alumni on to graduate study elsewhere. Their professors are usually accomplished and widely respected artists in their own right, and students from these schools will have been invited either to amateur competitions such as the Leonard Falcone International Tuba and Euphonium Festival, the International Tuba-Euphonium Conference, or to the final rounds of recent military band auditions.
