Welcome to the Davidson Fine Arts Choral Department. I am thrilled and excited to begin my 6th year at DFA. I look forward to a year of making music with you.
Please consider joining the Choral Booster Club. It is a wonderful way to be involved in your child's choral education. We have several chaperone opportunities throughout the year.
You are a part of a wonderful, world-class choral tradition at Davidson Fine Arts. It’s the #1 Choral Program in the United States. Don’t just take my word for it, though. The Davidson Chorale won the 2004 and 2005 Grammy Award for the top U.S. music program, forcing the Grammy Foundation to revamp their rules so Davidson couldn’t win it every year. DFA Faculty members are committed to upholding that standard of excellence. The Davidson Treble Chorus is the first step in a 5 or 6 year journey through this amazing program! Members of the Choral Department have received substantial vocal and music scholarships in college, pursuing performance careers at the highest level! The musical foundation and instruction you will receive as a member of the choir will impact you for a lifetime.
