Tuesday Student Takeover: Alex Wolfersberger

Kahuku High School junior and percussionist with the Hawaii Symphonic Band Alex Wolfersberger loves playing many different styles of music. He shares his love of drumming with us in this conversation about music, family and music education.

Sharene Keliʻipunilei Lum Taba grew up in Pearl City listening to a variety of music – mostly in the car and the choice of the driver (Grandma, Mom, Dad, sister or brother). It ranged from Hawaiian to Japanese Enka to Top 40 to HPR. Sharene played the violin in school, and is now a professional freelance harpist and mother. She and husband jazz bassist Dean Taba love to play and listen to music, and are raising their children to celebrate the love of learning and of all kinds of music.
