Student Achievements COSETTE F, 10SSR
Last year, I graduated from Suzuki Viola Book 4, which is considered equivalent to ABRSM Grade 6. I was invited to perform at Duke’s Hall at the Royal Academy of Music for my graduation concert. I was very honoured to be able to perform on such a historic stage, where so many
great musicians have performed. In Suzuki you cannot skip pieces, so to graduate I had to memorise and polish all 51 pieces from all the Books, not just test three pieces in the ABRSM exams. It was a lot of work but very
rewarding. My favourite moment was the joint finale with all the graduating players. The last note rang in the hall for a long time and the sound felt almost magical. I was really proud and grateful to experience it.
