John Voit teaches music and band to students in the Minneota School District and St. Edwardâs Catholic School
John Voit’s lifelong interest in music became a career, one that’s centered around the Minneota School District.
He’s in his 30th year of directing Minneota’s school band program. His days always involve variety; with a combination of lessons, practice sessions, music classes and supervision of a study hall.
Voit is originally from Mahnomen in northwestern Minnesota. He began his college years at the University of Minnesota Morris with plans to specialize in math education and elementary education. His interest in the arts led him to change his content-related major from math to music.
