DCEIM is an educational outreach program of the Douglas County Youth Orchestra.
We are a Vendor for DCSD, providing Elementary Band & Orchestra Instruction.
Ms. Davidson-Stanfill started this program, originally in the Rock Canyon feeder area in 2009, in response to District budget cuts and in response to many people requesting that a band and orchestra program continue. Her program grew to include the Castle View and Chaparral feeder areas in 2010, won the Macaroni Kids Best Music Lessons Award in 2014, expanded to include the Ponderosa, ThunderRidge and Mountain Vista areas in 2016, and won the Macaroni Kids Best Music Lessons Award in 2016, and again in 2019. Last year, the program expanded to also include the Douglas County High School feeder area.Ms. Davidson taught primarily Band and Orchestra for 27 years, and continues to run this program even as she's stopped teaching. She has a Bachelor of Music Education degree from CU Boulder, and a Master of Music degree from Arizona State University. She originally came to Douglas County as an employee, when she married a long-time DCSD Educator.
We are excited for this new chapter of our program, now running with the Douglas County Youth Orchestra.
