Teaching Testimonials
"I am a returning adult student who has had the pleasure of taking lessons from Morgann since late summer of 2011. I enjoy her relaxed yet lively energy, and lessons that feel like joyful collaboration rather than a lecture. Among the many things I look forward to in our hourlong sessions, two stand out in particular: First, Morgann has a wonderful ability and willingness to give very detailed and honest instruction/feedback--this has resulted in MANY "aha!" moments, and has helped me to understand how aspects of my current technique do or do not serve me. Morgann clearly understands the difference between a "critique" and "being critical." She is fantastic at breaking down a musical phrase or a technical glitch without breaking down the student. This is learning at its best and most enjoyable! The second thing that particularly excites me about working with Morgann is that I am learning to HEAR in a whole new way. It reminds me of learning to draw: So often people's drawings don't resemble the subject because they simply are not SEEING accurately. I think some of us (me) have the same problem with aural perception. Morgann is wonderful at reflecting back to me what I am actually doing with a note or phrase versus what I THINK I am doing. Discovering this new level of awareness has been eye-opening and empowering! Thanks Morgann!" - Adult Student
"Morgann is a fabulous teacher. I looked forward to my lessons and was excited to practice afterward. She always gave me a lot of ideas to improve my practice sessions and set reasonable goals for the next lesson. She has an extensive knowledge of flute repertoire and is very good at helping her students choose pieces that will challenge them as well as inspire them. One of the things I like best about her teaching style is that she knows when students should stick to what’s on the page and when they should let their own musicality guide their playing." - Maranatha College Music Education Major
"I recommend Morgann Davis enthusiastically!! She has been a wonderful influence on my daughter, musically. Her positive attitude, kindness, musicality, talent and encouragement have taken my daughter to new heights as a flute player. It's wonderful to see such excitement, interest and willingness to learn in a young player, all due to a strong teacher who continually strives to become a better player herself. I particularly appreciate the way Morgann communicates educational opportunities and the way she encourages her students to work hard to achieve their goals." - Mother of Seventh Grade Student
"Morgann Davis is a fantastic teacher. She’s very encouraging and wants all her students to do their very best. She gives great constructive feedback and teaches technique and other various aspects through exercises and she somehow always manages to make them fun. I have grown as a person and as a flute player, learning not only how to play the flute better, but ways to make playing in general easier. She has taught me useful information about how to control nerves, take auditions, and ways to release tension that can be caused by playing. Being a senior, I am confident that Morgann has prepared me for the university world of music to the best of my ability. I would have never appreciated music the way I do today if it weren’t for Morgann, and I wouldn’t want to take lessons with anyone else!" - High School Senior
"I have really enjoyed having Morgann as a flute teacher. I have learned so much more from her than I could ever learn at school. She has helped me improve my playing and has given me the courage to take my flute playing farther." - Seventh Grade Student
