Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I want to improve my ability to play the violin. I want to learn all of the positions on the violin. I want to learn and improve my vibrato. I want to learn wrist and arm vibrato from my violin teacher. I think my current teacher is a very good violinist. She is a good teacher and she is very clear and concise whenever she corrects my playing or talks to me about the music. Mentor or Instructor of lessons, camp, class, or workshop will evaluate the student artist and report back to Region 2 Arts Council.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I learned and mastered third position. I am learning fifth position and it is slightly easier than third position but it is still quite challenging. I have greatly improved my vibrato but there is still room for improvement. I want to learn to play in all of the positions and I will be able to do that as I continue taking lessons from Dr. Neglia Katchryan. I became concert master for the 4th hour orchestra that means I am in charge of the orchestra when the conductor is away.
