Tuesday Student Takeover: College Edition: Triston Roberts

Triston Roberts is a self taught musician and composer/arranger. Roberts visits Classical Pacific before heading off to start his second year at Brown Univeristy. The Mid Pacific Institute graduate talks about adjusting to life on the East Coast, and how hard work and staying with his passion for music has helped him as he attends one of the nationʻs most prestigious schools.

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.
