Description

Join Rick and Ron as they continue their discussion with legendary music educator Duane Davis.




Duane is well known in vocal jazz, musical theater and opera communities as a master educator, director, and conductor. The family moved to Cleveland when Davis was a toddler, where his earliest recollections were of music in the home. Although they could not afford instruments, the children were exposed to multiple musical genres.


Davis honed his appreciation for all styles, singing in school choirs and as a high school student also sang with the Cleveland Orchestra.


Inspired by a highly motivating music teacher, Davis pursued a career in music education and has been teaching for more than 50 years.
