Anna Davis
​Treasurer
​ I teach K-6 elementary general music in Sheldon, Ia. Trained as a band director, a few years ago, general music was added to my band duties and I instantly fell in love with elementary general and wanted to know more! Now, I've completed Orff Level I and II training along with First Steps and Conversational Solfege. In addition to my teaching duties, I play principal flute for the Northwest Iowa Symphony Orchestra. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking outdoors and spending time with family. I look forward to serving as Treasurer for your Sioux Valley Orff Chapter.
