Western orchestras are a kind of orchestras. Orchestras are a large composite ensemble composed of String instrument, Wind instrument and Percussion instrument. In today's society, ethnic music can be played by orchestras, and its strong inclusiveness is self-evident. As a band mainly playing Western classical music, the existence of Western wind bands plays a crucial role in music education in universities. This article demonstrated the importance of Western wind bands in universities through various aspects such as music education, band operation and management, and the impact of bands on the music atmosphere. At the end of this article, a questionnaire survey was conducted on two different campuses of the same school, and the conclusion was drawn that students from campuses with Western wind bands are more interested in music than students from another campus. This is crucial for universities to carry out music education and focus on art cultivation.
