About Me

My name is Chrissie Davis.  I grew up in North Little Rock and graduated from North Little Rock High School, after which I attended the University of Central Arkansas and the University of Southern Mississippi.

I am a professional, classically trained flautist and have been playing and performing for over 20 years.  I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music, Master of Music  in Performance and Doctor of Musical Arts in Performance and Pedagogy degrees.

My love of music has taken me around the world, performing in China, Europe and around the United States, and I perform regularly with several groups in the Little Rock, North Little Rock area.  I have competed in and won several competitions, and can help you prepare and succeed in the world of competition as well, whether it is competing for a scholarship, All Region tryouts, or a concerto competition.  Some of my flute students have placed in All-Region and All-State competitions and performed with the Arkansas Symphony Youth Orchestra.

I love working with budding musicians of all ages, 4-adult.  I offer private, weekly lessons in two convenient locations:  Sherwood and Maumelle.  I teach all levels of flute, as well as beginning and intermediate piano.  Begin or continue yours or your child's music education or just brush up on your skills by contacting me today.

My Musical Influences

For me, inspiration came from the string group Bond.  I was already listening to violinist Vanessa Mae, who blew my 11 year old mind with her rock and roll version of Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor," but it was Bond who really sparked my interest and desire to do some out-of-the-box things.

I remember the first time I heard Bond:  I was with my mom in Wal-Mart.  We suddenly became aware of the music playing over the speakers in the store, and it was awesome!  It was Bond!  We rushed to the music department and bought Bond's first album, "Born."  I've loved and followed them ever since.

It was, and still is, musicians like Vanessa Mae and Bond who showed my that classical music doesn't have to be boring, stuffy, stuck up or pretentious.  Since discovering Bond's brand of classical music, I have been trying to figure out how to plug in, rock out and create my own brand of classical music.  That's my inspiration.  That's my goal.  What's yours?  Find it and create something awesome!

Chrissie has been working with my son (15 years old) for several months and her skill level and patience with beginners is amazing. I would highly recommend Chrissie for piano lessons.
