Edward White recently accepted the prestigious University of Florida School of Music teaching assistantship and is currently pursuing a PhD. in Music Education. His research interests include popular music, improvisation pedagogy, creativity, and technology in music education. He has taught in various settings, from elementary to high school in South Florida and at the collegiate level in North Florida. 

Edward White maintains an active performance schedule in jazz and contemporary music and runs a private studio from which he teaches private guitar lessons, records, and produces music. He believes that in order to effectively teach his students the vernacular of contemporary music, he must be an active participant in the world of music-making.

In 2015, Mr. White received his Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies at Florida State University. Shortly after, in 2018, he received his Master's from the University of Florida in Music Education. His mission is to realize his own musicianship and potential by helping to refine others through education, performance, creation, and meaningful collaboration. Mr. White believes his success will be measured by the students who strive for more and develop a unique musical identity, capable of performing, appreciating, evaluating, and creating music. He strongly believes true musical growth occurs through meaningful collaboration.
