Brass Senior Representative
Tamara Vaughn is currently a freshman Trumpet Performance major in the College of Music at Florida State University, where she is a student in the studio of Dr. Christopher Moore. Other teachers include Dan Schilling, Kathy LaVay Turner, and Dr. Albert Lilly. Some of Tamara's more recent accomplishments include being selected as principal in Music For All's 2010 Honor Orchestra of America in Indianapolis, Indiana, and playing with the Gainesville Chamber Orchestra in her hometown in Gainesville, Florida. Tamara has spent her past three summers at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute in Lenox, Massachusetts, where she was granted scholarships to participate in the Young Artists Orchestra and the Young Artists Wind Ensemble, and studied with David Krauss, Terry Everson, and Andrew Sorg.
A recent graduate of Santa Fe High School, Tamara was a student leader and mentor in the band program under the direction of Nathan Bisco, and was a five-time participant in the Florida Music Educators Association All-State Orchestras and Bands. She was also a six-year member of the Alachua County Youth Orchestra, directed by R. Gary Langford, with three years as principal. Tamara has won, or been a finalist, or semi-finalist as a soloist in every National Trumpet Competition for her division for the past four years, and was also a finalist in her solo division at the 2009 International Trumpet Guild Conference in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Although Tamara is a performance major, and plans a career as a professional orchestral musician and university level educator, she is also a big supporter of music education in our public schools and spends many hours giving back to her community by volunteering her time teaching brass instruction at both high school and middle school levels.
