Gail Robertson

Another strong female Brass player is Gail Robertson. Dr. Robertson serves as Assistant Professor of Tuba and Euphonium/Jazz at the University of Central Arkansas. Robertson was elected Vice President/President-Elect of the International Tuba and Euphonium Association (ITEA) for a six-year term that began July 1, 2017. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Leonard Falcone Tuba and Euphonium Festival. She is Past President of the International Women’s Brass Conference (IWBC) and co-hosted two international conferences (2006, 2010). Gail was Chair/Chief Editor of the International Tuba and Euphonium Press (2012-2017). She also served as Euphonium and Membership Coordinator of the ITEA and was the featured artist on the cover of the ITEA Journal (Vol. 38:1, Fall 2010).

She has degrees from the University of Central Florida,  Indiana University (Go Hoosiers), and Michigan State University. In between her time at Indiana and Michigan, Roberston spent time playing in the Tubafours, which at the time was performing in places like Walt Disney World.  She now performs in the Brass Band of Battle Creek and Pinnacle Brass. 

Pinnacle Brass was founded in 2001 by the UCA brass faculty as its resident brass quintet. Its mission is to enrich the lives of students through the demonstration of professional chamber music performance practice; to benefit the university and community. 

I was unable to find a recording of this group online so instead will show you a recording of Dr. Robertson playing in How High the Moon by David Werden.
