Elva has been surrounded by music all of her life. Her father has been writing songs ever since she can remember. When 1 was little, my family and friends would sing at gatherings or parties we would have, states Elva. Because of her musical background Elva has been able to naturally develope her voice, but of course there is always that yet to be taught. Elva definitely has a good voice with out- standing potential. It, of course will take years to be perfected, but it can be done, explained choir director Mr. Larry Cline.
