Taking Note - Njioma Chinyere Grevious

8m 41s

With early inspiration from her mother’s love of music, Njioma Chinyere Grevious took up the violin after watching her sister learn to play. Gaining initial skills through lessons from Boston’s Project STEP, Grevious particularly values the training she received in high school from teacher James Buswell whose instruction included both musical insight and life lessons.
