Tubist, Educator, Advocate.

Dr. Meredith Q. Fuller (she/her) is a tubist and low brass educator based in the Baltimore area. She holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University. Originally from Pennsylvania, she is an alumna of the Penn State School of Music, where she earned her B.M.E. and M.M. degrees.

Meredith’s passion for the tuba began in elementary school when she volunteered to try the instrument during a Music in Our Schools Month demonstration. Initially chosen because she was a small girl, she quickly developed a love for the tuba, which set her on a path to pursue a professional career in music. She realizes that not every young student has as much support and opportunities as she did in public school, and advocates for music education, outreach, and advocacy for marginalized groups in the brass and tuba community. Through the Resilient Roots project, she continues to expand accessible solo repertoire for beginning and intermediate tuba and euphonium students by commissioning works from living and underrepresented composers.

Meredith is a faculty member with the Baltimore School for the Arts and its Twigs program, where she serves as the tuba and euphonium instructor. She also teaches private lessons with the Full-Blown Trombone studio, where she specializes in tuba and euphonium instruction. From 2022-2024, she was the adjunct professor of tuba and euphonium at Penn State University. As an active performer, she is an inaugural member of the Chrysalis Orchestra, and has performed with ensembles such as Seraph Brass, Stiletto Brass, Monarch Brass, York Symphony Orchestra, and Altoona Symphony Orchestra. In 2025, she was a Featured Artist for the 2025 International Women’s Brass Conference in Hartford, CT.
