Kyla Davis – I currently teach music for kindergarten through fifth grade at Ben Franklin Elementary School in Harrisburg, PA. In addition to teaching, I am also the director for the Resounding Praise Youth Ensemble which is a youth band at my church. Growing up in the capital City, I am a proud alumnae of the Harrisburg School District. After obtaining my Bachelors of Music Education from the illustrious North Carolina Central University, I was privileged enough to become a teacher in the same district I grew up in. I recently obtained my Master’s degree in Music Education from the University of South Mississippi. I am really excited to be participating in this program.

What excites me the most is the opportunity to network with and learn from various other educators from all over the country. I know that what I will learn in this program will not only help me grow as an educator but help cultivate a better classroom environment, create better experiences for my students, and hopefully help to better support any fellow educators I will work with.  Music has always been special in my life. By the time I was in high school, I realized how liberated and joyful music made me feel and I knew I wanted to give young children the opportunity to feel the same. This led me to become a music educator and it was a decision I will never regret!
