Christelle Nilsen

About Christelle:
Hi, I'm Christelle Nilsen. I'm homeschooled and about to begin my final year in high school and Etowah Youth Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensemble. I have been playing the flute for over seven years now and I'm teaching myself piano and taking voice lessons. Music for me is more of a relaxation than anything else, therefore I don't plan on studying music in college, but using it as more of a stress relief. I've been in the EYO for three years and have had many opportunities because of it. With the EYO I've taken trips to New Orleans, St. Louis, and England. Being a part of the EYO has challenged me in many ways and has helped me become a better musician. Thanks Mike!
