Due to their advantages of being relatively easy to learn and having a shorter learning period, wind instruments have greatly increased the enthusiasm of teenagers for learning. As an important collective project in quality education and extracurricular art activities, wind ensemble has attracted a large number of wind instrument enthusiasts and performers, becoming a platform for showcasing their artistic talents. At the same time, the role and impact of wind ensemble have become one of the standards for evaluating the results and achievements of art and quality education. The enthusiasm for learning wind instruments has been on the rise in recent years, with a trend of surpassing the popularity of piano learning. Meanwhile, the number and development of wind bands are also booming. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 300 wind bands in Shanghai alone, mostly consisting of middle and primary schools, as well as other industries. What principles and standards should be adopted to build their respective bands should be a critical issue for all band organizers and wind instrument participants to consider. Wind ensembles composed of Western wind instruments can be regarded as a form of art. How has this art developed in the world today? What are the recognized world-class standards and their criteria? Do they hold any guiding significance for us? How should we align with the broader trends of the world and develop accordingly? I believe many people have given this thought. When we witness the brilliant performances of visiting world-class international wind orchestras on stage, or when we face strong international wind orchestras in international competitions, the direction and goals become clear at that moment. Continuously expanding our thinking, persistently honing our skills, and constantly innovating in learning—truly, in the near future, the outstanding wind instrument performance levels in our country will undoubtedly reach a new height, attracting worldwide attention.
