Patricia Gunter
Ms. Patricia Gunter has been Adjunct Instructor of Music (Bassoon) at the Belmont University School of Music since 1982.
Patricia Gunter's musical career began at age five, with the piano. Her best friend's mother was the local minister's wife/piano teacher. The young pianist career was cut short when the family moved to St. Louis and the piano remained in Oak Ridge. She discovered the bassoon in high school, it lured her away from the flute, and she went on to receive her Master's Degree in Bassoon from Indiana University.
Ms. Gunter was a member of the Nashville Symphony from 1981-2003. She currently freelances in Indiana, Kentucky and Alabama and also teaches bassoon at Tennessee State University. Ms. Gunter is a member of the Nashville Double Reed Ensemble and the instigator of "Bassoonery", a local bassoon quintet. She also teaches bassoon at two of Nashville's local magnet schools; Hume Fogg and Martin Luther King.
Ms. Gunter is one of the founding members of Belmont's Faculty Woodwind Quintet. She also performs with Belmont's Camerata Musicale and Opus 5, a local woodwind quintet.
