One of the primary goals of the Guidonian Hand is to expand chamber music literature for brass instruments. One of the ways they achieve this goal is to collaborate directly with composers. The Hand can design a program that demonstrates specific techniques of the instrument to help guide the next generation of composers. They will also play pieces that have been written for the forum, and answer student questions about the instrument, the trombone quartet as a performing group, or the landscape of contemporary music. The Guidonian Hand would also enjoy staying in contact with both composition professors and students to see the compositional process through to completion.
