Shih Chien University Dept. of Music and TrioMusic proudly present:
Band Instrument Repair Summer Program 2013
At Shih Chien University Department of Music, Taiwan (USCMUSIC) we offer summer training programs in the field of musical instrument repair, focusing mainly on the disciplines of woodwind. This includes clarinet, saxophone, and flute. We teach the skills and knowledge that can be used to keep your own instrument properly maintained, and as an entry level of pursuing a career as a musical instrument technician.
The courses are designed for :

- School band teachers who are trying to save some budget on instrument repair.
- Musical instrument dealers or sales persons who would like to serve their customers better.
