Choral Teachers are Awesome

Today, as students across the US prepare to go back to school, we at Musicians vs the World want to take a couple of episodes to dive into the career of a school educator. These unsung heroes often give students their first taste of music making or ensemble work, and help to create memorable experiences that can shape the trajectory of a child’s life. In the next two episodes we’ll take a look into the life of high school choral director William C Davis, whose teaching took him up and down the eastern seaboard, included tours across the ocean, and ended with an auditorium dedicated to his and his fathers’ teaching legacies. Join host, Christine Smith as she talks with Bill about working with school administrators, balancing high expectations with positive relationships, and how a choral tour helped heal emotional wounds from war.
