Brass & Bloom

My name is Elinor Kos, but I like to go by Ellie. I am an undergrad music performance major & a psychology minor at Stetson University. I take 9-12 classes a semester, including band and ensembles. My musical journey all started when I chose a random elective freshman year of high school, originally choosing the flute but ended up blow in a trumpet and preferring it a lot more. My playing improved tremendously throughout my high school years as well as being super involved in the program as brass captain and section leader. In my senior year of high school, I felt so passionate and serious about music, imagining to do it furthermore excited me, so I auditioned to four music school, being accepted into each one and happily committing to Stetson as that was my first choice. Being a music major at Stetson has opened my eyes about music in ways I never imagined and thought so in depth which goes way beyond just performing on my instrument. I am very grateful to be in such a phenomenal, talented music school as well as having an amazing, inspiring trumpet professor who guides, teaches & supports me!
