In addition to performing, Dr. Leitterman is dedicated to bringing music to the younger generations.  She is currently the Assistant Professor of Oboe at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, AR.  In addition to teaching oboe, her duties also include Double Reed Techniques, Fundamentals of Music, and coaching small chamber ensembles.
