GRCC and The Schubert Male Chorus felt Erika was deserving of both semester’s financial assistance. She is studying voice performance, piano performance and fine art. Her instructors are William Bokhout and Dr. Deborah DeWitt. Erika has a deep love for music and has been performing in choirs since the age of 5. She has participated in the Holland Youth Orchestra as a violinist and theatrical work with Homeschool Performing Arts. “ I know my music and art degrees will assist me in living life with a creative and innovative prospective, and I believe that living a creative life is living an enriched life,” states Erika. We have enjoyed working with Erika during the first semester and look forward to her continuing during the spring semester.
