Tiffany, 11 Plays a 3/4 Size BV5SE Violin Duration of Learning: about 5 years Started at BVMS Since: April 2019   For this concert, Tiffany plays the whole four movements of Handel’s Sonata No. 3 in F Major, exploring some Baroque genre of classical music as a contrasts with the Seitz Student Violin concertos that she had performed in the previous concert. The work consist of a slow-fast-slow-fast arrangement through the movements. The fast movements are exciting and dance like. Tiffany started with Vivienne about a Grade 4 standard, since then Tiffany has shown considerable improvement in technique and position and note recognition as she had prepared almost the whole piece by her own as a project especially utilizing the 2nd and 4th positions. We will work towards a Grade 8 ABRSM now as she prepares for her PSLE this year.   Other Favorite Things/Activities: Dance, Chinese Dance, reading fantasy novels, bakes with her mom in her free time and would like to be an architect when she grows up.

She is always enthusiastic in trying to get something right in class and understand what’s right and wrong. This concert, we set a goal to play a slightly longer piece than what she is used to with Martini’s Gavotte from Suzuki Volume 3.
