Mrs. Rachel A. Davis

Rachel grew up in a musical family. She started singing and playing piano at an early age. In fifth grade, she began playing the violin in the school orchestra. It wasn’t long, however, before she fell in love with the sound of the cello. Cello has since been her favorite instrument to play. Growing up in Portland, Oregon provided many opportunities for musical growth. Rachel participated in local groups like the Metropolitan Youth Symphony and the Portland Youth Philharmonic.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in music education from Berry College in Rome, Georgia, Rachel moved back to the Northwest where she has played with a diverse range of groups.  Large like the Beaverton Symphony and Willamette Falls Symphony, small chamber groups like the Willamette Falls Trio and Quartetto de Amigos, and even the indie rock bands like Capraesque and Matthew Fountain and the Whereabouts.  Currently, Rachel teaches music at Damascus Christian School and Cedarwood Waldorf.
