20% project info

For My 20% Project I'm going to learn how to play the Viola while practicing my Level Four NYSSMA Solo on the violin. The piece is called, "Allegro," by J.-H. Fiocco. My goal is to get a perfect score which is a 28 on my solo and when I learn how to play the viola I want to be able to play a level Four piece on that as well. My orchestra teacher, Mrs. Rivenburg, has given me a beginner Viola book and is encouraging me to look up work sheets so I can learn the notes on the viola and be able to recognize them. I've always wanted to learn how to play the Viola because I think it is a beautiful sounding instrument and I've been playing the Violin for 8 years so I think its time to expand beyond that. Also I want to be able to continue playing in college. I don't want to end the experience in Highschool. By learning new skills on each instrument I will be approving my abilities and if I end up suceeding in my goals of a perfect score then that will look very good for college. Being able to play a second instument in the orchestra will not only look good for college as well but it will be an achieving goal for myself because I would be accomplishing something I've always wanted to do.
