Music has always played a major part in Elizabeth’s life. Her parents, as well as her elementary school music teacher in New Jersey had a huge impact on the musical path she has chosen. She has been singing with her five sisters, the Kolarovic Sisters, in their own version of the Von Trapp’s ever since she can remember.

“Singing in harmony puts an incredible amount of light into my heart and into my life”, says Elizabeth. “There is nothing more beautiful, peaceful, or calming then being a part of creating an amazing sound”. The Kolarovic Sisters were invited to be on Al Albert’s Showcase, and have sung in public together on countless occasions. They have also been hired for weddings, parties, and by Macy’s for Christmas Concerts. In 1998 they recorded their first album, The Kolarovic Sisters Christmas Album.

During high school, Elizabeth played first seat trumpet in the band. It was here that she learned how much music can be the vehicle for enhanced developmental skills such as math and social skills.

After high school Elizabeth started taking voice lessons. She also auditioned and won a spot in the Philadelphia Festival Chorus as well as the local community chorus, where she sang classical in many concerts around the Philadelphia area. She then enrolled in Rutgers University’s music program as a music major. After completing her schooling, she moved to Connecticut.

Missing harmonizing with her sisters in New Jersey and looking for musical fulfillment, Elizabeth found a way to keep music in her life by becoming a licensed Kindermusik educator. “If I could reach children in the same way my elementary music school teacher reached me, then I could make a major difference in their lives”, says Elizabeth. “I want to make a positive impact on children to assist them in getting the best possible start in life”. “Music really reaches children, and they relate to it so well”, says Elizabeth. “I hope to pass on all the learning benefits music has to the children”.

Today, Elizabeth lives in Salem Connecticut, with her husband James, their daughter Madison, their son Ethan, as well as their four cats.
