Comment from Mr. Krijnen:

Mitra is being recognized for a variety of reasons, including her consistency of preparation, leadership, and awareness of the classroom and student needs. As a TA, she is always finding ways to support the beginners, and as a violinist, she is always preparing every day to her absolute best, leading by example, influencing her colleagues, and helping to support the learning environment of both Avant and Chamber. Mitra is always kind towards others, and it is amazing when students are able to be both self-directed and effective with those choices. It has been wonderful to see her impact on our orchestras this year and are recognizing her for all her efforts.

 

How long have you been playing?

1-2 yrs

 

What sparked your interest in playing this instrument?

I liked that the violin got the parts that I could hear in the songs, and I liked the way it sounded.

 

What is your favorite musical piece that you've played?

Barrington by Alan Lee Silva

 

What type of music do you most like to play and why?

Classical, because it exposes me to a different type of music that I wouldn't normally listen to.

 

What is giving/gave you the most trouble while learning, and what advice would you give to others having similar difficulties?

Tension when I play. The advice I would give to others is to focus on it while you are practicing.

 

Any words of wisdom or encouragement for your peers?

Keep trying!
