Noah Harrison

Noah Harrison is the bookish one, observational and a little apart, the kind of student who reads Alexander the Great on his lunch break because the past is simply more interesting to him than most of the present.

He is the one who pulls historical depth into the room. When the others are arguing about an arrangement, Noah is the quiet voice reminding everyone where a melody actually came from, and how far it has already traveled to reach a classroom in New York.

He and Aviva hold the room's memory between them, the two students least willing to let a song be modern before it has been understood.
