Elisabeth Gross

Elisabeth, the September Student of the Month, is an easy going, positive 16 year old. Take, for instance, her favorite recital memory: “When one of my songs was a complete train wreck, because now I look back and just laugh!” Or her favorite food: “Watermelon and mangoes…also, pretty much anything delicious.” Pretty much, Elisabeth is pretty great and we love having her as a student at Harris.

Elisabeth has studied with her instructor for more than 10 years and is making tremendous progress. (You can listen to her playing in the video.) Her goals with music lessons are to continue learning music to have the skills needed to play for the rest of her life.

Elisabeth’s instructor, Vicki Harris, says she is an absolute delight. “She has blossomed as an artist and her piano skills have also enhanced Elisabeth’s interest in guitar, ukulele, and singing.”
