Rebecca Wilson, Music Instructor
Rebecca teaches all ages of students, from 5 on up. She seeks to make lessons fun and engaging for her students, while at the same time providing a solid foundation of basic music skills. Her overall goal is to instill a love of music in each student that will carry throughout their lives.
In addition to private teaching, she serves as bassoon instructor at Radford University and taught bassoon at Virginia Tech for five years. She is also a faculty member of The Virginia Governor's School for Humanities and Visual and Performing Arts, held each summer at Radford. She has served as an instructor at the Roanoke Youth Symphony Orchestra Summer Music Institute, held at Hollins University.
Her formal training includes a Bachelor of Music degree in bassoon performance from the highly acclaimed Eastman School of Music, in Rochester, NY. She also holds a Masters degree in Music Education from Boston University.
Mrs. Wilson performs with the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra as a substitute bassoonist. She has also played with the Lynchburg Symphony Orchestra and the University-Shenandoah Symphony Orchestra at Washington & Lee University. Various other freelance gigs frequently take her around Roanoke and its surrounding areas.
On an entirely different "note," Rebecca also plays flute with the Roanoke Celtic Band "Second Wynde" (check them out on Facebook!). Look for them to be playing around town as St. Patrick's Day draws near.
Overall, Rebecca has 25 years of teaching experience and looks forward to enjoying many more!
