At the age of 7 Ms. Davis took up the violin as a result of having heard her father
playing for enjoyment her entire life. She progressed quickly and soon began taking lessons
outside of her hometown, traveling to Burlington, Vermont and then to New York City to
work with teachers from the Julliard Pre-College Division. She spent her summers
attending the Meadowmount School of Music, located only 30 minutes from her home. Upon
reaching high school she moved to Cleveland to participate in the Cleveland Institute of
Music's Young Artist Program. Her teachers there were David Updegraff and Linda
Cerone, whom she worked with year round by attending the Encore School for Strings
during the summer.
