Abstract	The purpose of this study was to investigate current secondary woodwind, brass, and combined wind instrument methods courses for preservice music teachers across the United States. Two-hundred eleven (N = 211) wind methods course instructors from National Association of Schools of Music-accredited institutions completed an online survey that examined (a) primary area and employment status of instructors, (b) course structure, (c) overall purpose, (d) textbooks, (e) assignments, and (f) assessments used within the courses. Results indicate that full-time faculty members in music education or performance are most likely to teach all three methods courses. The majority of methods courses are taught by one instructor, meet twice a week, and are 50 minutes long. The most frequently listed objective for methods courses was "performance skill" or "pedagogical techniques." Additionally, similarities were found between woodwind and brass methods courses for textbooks, assignments, and assessments, mirroring the overall objective stated by instructors. (As Provided).
