Violin Exam~

Today is my student, Anis, age 37, her most important day. Other students have gone through this exam yesterday. She is gonna play in front of the examiner from ABRSM, UK. Well, I'm her pianist today~ She likes photography and requests to take a photo before exam. That's really a great idea to release tension and stay relax before entering the examination room!!

A little true story behind~

Meeting Her
That's good faith meeting with Anis! A kind, friendly and outgoing lady. She worked as a Vice President in a department; one of the world branded global bank. Before she decided to play violin, she has listed down a checklist of hobbies for herself rather than just work and work in the corporate world. She told me she needed something to light up her life! Finally, she has chosen the violin! And then, we met!

The Positive Attitude + Her Success
No matter how busy she was, she tried to manage her time to practice violin and finished her music theory work. During the lessons, she often laughed happily even she made some minor mistakes while playing. She was quite nervous when we were playing duets especially during her exam period. Always, I calmed her down and encouraged her to present the best performance. From a "KOSONG" beginner, after 1.8 years, she has completed her Grade 2 ABRSM Violin. Congratulations!! ^.^ This really provide a great example that as long as a person willing to learn, don't give up easily, no matter who you are, in what ages, she/he still able to play an instrument and enjoy the music, as long as you practice it!

Furthermore, she played the violin during her company's event/function, her colleagues were so surprised and excited on her great performance! Also, thanks to her very much --> During my orchestra's concert, she always came to support, paid ticket for seats, entered to the hall and watched concerts with classical piano and violin concerto programmes. ^.^
