25 years of Winds Magazine has given Basbwe a tremendous resource of articles on repertoire, composers, the history of wind music, conducting, instrumental training and many other areas of interest. A selection of these articles (at present incomplete) can be accessed from this page.

All files are in Adobe PDF format. The files sizes are mostly less than half a megabyte, and so should open very quickly on a broadband or DSL connection. With a dial-up modem they may take a minute or two - unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this. The software needed to read these files is most probably installed on your computer but just in case, here's the link;



Articles are listed by category and information about the author and the date of publication is also given. Should you wish to reproduce any article in any way you must seek the permission of the author.

We are currently in the process of uploading back issues of Winds to the site. Please keep checking back for news...
