Morgan Watts
Born and raised in Bend, Morgan has been involved in the Central Oregon music scene for over 15 years. At the age of eight, she began playing drums and fell in love with percussion after playing in high school band classes. She currently plays percussion with the Central Oregon Symphony and Cascade Wind Ensemble, fills in as a percussion sub at the Sunriver Music Festival, and drums for the Summit Express Jazz Band. Musical theater holds a special place in her heart, and she specializes in playing for pit orchestras of multiple local children, teen, and professional theater companies. Recent shows include Next To Normal, Newsies, We Will Rock You, Tarzan, Guys and Dolls, Ride the Cyclone, Cinderella, Tick Tick Boom! and many more.
Morgan hopes to facilitate students in creating a practice routine that encourages accountability, creativity, and fun, all while helping them grow not only as a player, but as a person. She truly believes that the skills learned from music carry over into every facet of life. Whether you want to play onstage, in the pit, prepare for auditions, or jam out with friends, Morgan would love to be a part of your musical journey.
