About Jill Gutierrez

Jill was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. She studied saxophone, flute, and clarinet  from the age of 11 through earning her Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education from Central Washington University.  While performing in the Disney All American College Orchestra at Disney World, Jill met her husband and decided to move from Seattle to Orlando. Jill's life-long goal has always been to conserve the art of live music performance through music education. After performing as a Disney staff musician for several years, Jill became a band director/instrumental teacher for Orange County Public Schools at Hunter's Creek Middle School. She taught there for 15 years. The last five years, Jill has had the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom for her two daughters. Jill is thrilled to be back to teaching instrumental music for Music & Arts.
