CINCO RANCH HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR BOOSTER CLUB - Key Persons
Andrés Dávila is thrilled to join the Cinco Ranch choir family! He will serve as Associate Choir Director and AP Music Theory instructor in his 6th year in education. He was born in McAllen, TX and moved to Houston in 2019. Andrés loves to sing, draw, and play soccer.
In the 5th grade, Mr. Dávila met his future middle school choir director, Mr. Ed Argüelles who convinced him to join the choir. It was there that he cultivated an irreversible love for singing and solfège. He remembers his mentor's advice: "It's all cumulative."
After high school, Mr. Dávila attended Texas State University, where he sang in the Chorale under Dr. Joey Martin. Before graduating in 2016, he had the privilege to perform master choral works such as the Rachmaninoff All-Night Vigil with basso profundo Glenn Miller, the Bach St. John Passion under Dr. Craig Hella Johnson, and the Mozart Requiem with the Tianjin Orchestra in Beijing. In addition, he recorded a studio album for which he sang bass with VocaLibre under Craig Aamot and Matthew Oltman of Chanticleer. His senior year of college he was fortunate to participate in a Texas State University study abroad program in Spain where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Spanish with a minor in music. In 2017, he received his teaching certification through ACT-RGV. In 2019, Mr. Dávila certified Kodály Level III under the guidance of published musicologists Ms. Gabriela Montoya-Stier and Drs. Houlahan, Tacka, and Arredondo. This philosophy of music education is rooted in the same love for singing he first discovered in choir.
Andrés also loves to hang out with wife Lindsey and his dog Thor or coach with Soccer Shots Houston.
