A message from Mr. Davis
Students, it is an honor and a privilege to be a member of the Piano Studios Program at Durham School of the Arts. While in this program, you will develop a deeper understanding of your instrument as well as proper playing technique. You will be expected to work at a high level and to treat each other with respect. You will also learn to think critically about various instrumental music listened to in class, as well as the historical and cultural implications of instrumental music. |

Take a look at our new headphones! A big thank you to everyone who contributed!
The Logitech G230 Stereo Headset with 2-way microphone allows me to listen and work with the piano students in every class. I teach 144 piano students. The headphones are high quality and work extremely well.
I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this musical adventure for my piano students. You have provided an opportunity for these students to be able to play music composed by some of the greatest composers such as Franz Joseph Haydn, Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Frederic Chopin.
Who knows if one of my piano students will become the next Oscar Peterson or Art Tatum?
The materials provided will ensure that my students will have the greatest chance to succeed on their quest to become the best they can be in the world of music.
With gratitude, Mr. Davis
