Meet the head director of the FWMS Choir Program!
Rachael Davis is a proud Texas native and the head director of the FWMS Choir Program. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Belmont University in Nashville, TN, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education with a Minor in Mathematics. During her time at Belmont, she was honored with the Dr. Jerry L. Warren Chorale Scholarship and was a Keith B. Moore Classical Singers Recital Finalist. Currently, Rachael is pursuing a Master's Degree in Music Education at Lamar University.
This is her first year at FWMS and her sixth year of teaching. Under her direction, students have excelled in achieving superior ratings at Solo and Ensemble, earning outstanding soloist awards, receiving Superior ratings at UIL and the 6th Grade Choral Festival, and advancing to the All-Region Choir. In addition to her work with students, Rachael is a presenter for professional development at events such as the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) convention, where she shares her expertise and passion for music education with fellow educators.
Mrs. Davis is passionate about helping students grow both as musicians and as people while creating a positive, welcoming choir environment. She is excited to return to the DFW area, where she grew up. Outside of school, she loves spending time with her husband (Nathan), their 10-month-old daughter (Emily), and their two dogs (Minnie & Sadie). In her free time, she enjoys gaming, crafting, and making fun creative projects.
