Joseph Terrell Wilson

I love teaching because of the opportunity it gives me to give others the gift of music and to also see a person grow by their hard work.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because of the joy I felt seeing someone learn and benefit from the music lessons I gave as a middle school student. This influenced me to want to join the teaching profession and to pursue a career in music education.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is witnessing one of my first students go to college to pursue music education as well with him being the first in his family to go to college.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would plan help eliminate some debt along with blessing my staff that volunteers with my band program for free.
