Music @ Glencoe 2025-2026

Hi! My name is Ms. Davidson and this is my 36th year teaching in PPS.  I started teaching in PPS as a music teacher. I taught music at 4 SE elementary schools for 6 years before joining the Glencoe community as a 1st/2nd classroom teacher.  I've taught 1/2, 1st, 2nd, K, half day K and half day music and 3rd grade classroom before moving to full-time music at Glencoe.

I have a BA in Music Education, a Master's in Elementary Ed and an endorsement in Early Childhood Education.  I have earned my Orff Levels (UCSC), Level I & II in Conversational Solfege, First Steps training, and Level I in WMD (World Music Drumming). I have presented at the district level for TAG, Science, Math & Technology and part of the online music lesson development team. I was also selected as part of the Connected Arts Network PLC (national work with NAfME). I am currently enrolled in a math program at PSU and a Reading endorsement with University of Portland.

I believe ALL students are able to achieve high levels of learning and understanding when given the opportunity and skills. The level to which the student chooses to embrace those opportunities will determine the level of depth for each student. As the facilitator of my class, my goal is to find ways to reach each child (within a total of 20-27 hours throughout the school year). Students have music once a week for 45 minutes. I value every minute I have with each student. Our time together is short. We make the most of it!

This year I am only at Glencoe three days: Monday, Thursday & Friday Contact me at ldavidso@pps.net (no 'n')
