From England To SONATA
Music has always
been a part of my life and my
parents exposed me to a wide
variety of music since I was a
baby. My parents played music
to me when I was in the womb
and when I was bom they had
music by Vivaldi playing in the
delivery room. I even named my
invisible friend Mimi, after the
character in Puccini’s La Bo-
heme.
At the age of eight, I
chose to play violin because of
my favorite cartoon, Little Lulu,
who played the instrument. As
soon as I started my lessons, my
teacher taught me the impor
tance of practice. Every lesson I
had to present tapes of my prac
tice to show my teacher not only
the quantity but
also the quality of
my daily practice.
Soon after starting
the violin, I chose
to play the clarinet
in 5th grade band.
This was my first
experience work
ing in an ensem
ble, which was
exciting. I enjoyed
having the oppor
tunity to play mu
sic with my class
mates. Playing in
an ensemble also
made me inter
ested in playing
in orchestra and
chamber ensembles
with my violin.
During my middle
school years, I started with the
SONATA program with my vio
lin being my main study. I really
gained confidence and grew as
young performer through SO
NATA. Meeting other musicians
my age that had similar goals
and aspirations was very inspi
rational. Without a doubt, SO
NATA was one of the things that
gave me the confidence to move
to a completely different coun
try to study music at university.
I moved to London 3 years ago
to continue my musical studies.
I studied 2 years at Birmingham
Conservatoire before moving to
Goldsmiths College, Universi
ty of London, where I received
my Bmus degree. Studying in
England for my undergraduate
degree was so exciting and chal
lenging. I had file opportunity
to study with world class musi
cians and go to some amazing
performances at venues like The
Royal Opera House and Wig-
more Hall. I also go to travel to
Sweden and France to play with
orchestra and a chamber group,
hi my final year of Goldsmiths
College, I played at the Queen’s
Elisabeth Hall with our orches
tra.
Last year I decided
that I wanted to continue my
studies by going to graduate
school to do a Masters in Mu
sic Education at Kingston Uni
versity in England. After doing
this intensive one-year degree
my plan is to come back to Sa
vannah and share all that I have
learned over the years by teach
ing. I have had a number of great
teachers including Yvonne John
son, Liz Zhou, Bjorn Kleinian,
and Devorina Gamalova, and a
great support from my church
Asbury Memorial Methodist
Church. After all these years,
I have also continued to have
such support and motivation
from SONATA. As a teacher, I
hope to inspire my students as
my mentors and teachers have
inspired me.
Effie is now a SONA
TA, Inc. teacher.
