To Whom it may concern

Vivianna Mohamed started lessons with me three years ago, she was 11 years old then. I noticed right away that she was earnest about the violin and about her practice. We went through some rigorous work on her technique, and then through repertory that I thought would be helpful to her musical progress.

I was surprised by how quickly she learned new music and how seriously she took everything I suggested. Her practicing was highly disciplined and her maturity was much above her age.

We covered a large amount of material in a short time, and we did not skip any steps, I was determined to make every piece we worked on the best she could do at that time.

We went through Concerto in a Min by Bach, Partita No 3 in E major Preludio by Bach, Vivaldi Winter all 3 movements, Beethoven's Spring Sonata 1st movement, Mendelsohn's violin Concerto in e min all three movements, Caprice Basque by Sarasate, Paganini Caprices no 5 and 24, Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, and now we work on Mozart Concerto No 5.

I can not recommend Vivianna enough, I think she would benefit tremendously from working with Jerzy Kaplanek, and SOSI would also benefit from having students like Vivianna.

Thank you
