HELPING TEACH LIFE-LONG MUSICAL REPAIR SKILLS

This course is a 12-month comprehensive program covering real-life experience and coursework on how to repair brass, wind, and percussion instruments. The quality of lessons you receive and the tools you will leave the Southeast Music Institute with will put you steps ahead of your peers!

We start you off learning in the classroom, then in no time you will be gaining experience as an apprentice and getting opportunities to shadow local technicians.

We will go over all kinds of instrument repair from valve fitting and parts fabrication on brass instruments to spring replacement and key mechanism regulation on woodwind instruments.

Our goal is to give you the skills to create a rewarding career in something you are passionate about through teaching you all the details of business and making sure you leave a well rounded and knowledgable Instrument Repair Technician!
