Welcome to the latest edition of "Student Spotlight." This spotlight is focused on my guitar and vocal student Karissa Romer. She is 13 years old and attends Saint Mary's Catholic School. She has been taking lessons off me since October 11, 2008. When I asked her what m,ade her want to play guitar it was because of Avril Lavigne. Why Avril? Because Avril lavigne's individuality inspired her. Ms. Romer got off to slow start in lessons, as almost everyone does, because once a student gets in to my room they realize how much work it's gonna take to get going. I did not know at first, if she was gonna stick it out. She did! After a few months she started to dig down deep inside herself and started practicing more. She became dedicated and that led her to being able to start playing some songs she liked. After about a year of guitar lessons she also started to take some vocal lessons as well. She has been the front woman for the Big City Music Student Band for a while now. She does extremely well at it too. She is also going to be doing our Rock Band Camp this summer too. All Time Low is currently her favorite band. Her dream concert to attend would be, you guessed it, Avril Lavigne. If she could be in any national band it would be Fall Out Boy. Her first concert she ever went to was Lynyrd Skynyrd when she was 4 years old. Karissa says she comes from a somewhat musical family,her cousins play drums and guitar,and she grew up with cool parents that always had great music playing where ever they were. Karissa aspires to one day be in a band, singing and playing guitar. Karissa has played shows at the Live On The Lawn and at the Columbia County Amphitheatre. Her next show you can catch her at will be for the Rock Band Camp's show for NBC 26's River Blast on July 4th at the 8th street stage in downtown Augusta Georgia. So here's to you Karissa......Keep Rockin....Keep Playing....and Keep Having Fun!!!!!
