John Receives 5th Superior Rating for Violin Playing

In March in the Moraine Music Festival at UW-Washinton Cty., I received my fifth Superior rating for violin playing “Concerto” by Sietze and “Bouree” by Bach.

Two years ago, I received a gold honors plaque for three consecutive Superior ratings at an honors recital. When I was six years old, I started violin lessons and am now in the Suziki 4 book.

What organization recognized the achievement?

The Moraine Area Private Music Teachers Organization

How did homeschooling help you achieve your goal?

Homeschooling allows me to practice six days a week.

What are your interests?

I enjoy violin, skiing, football, reading, Lego building, and skateboarding.

What are you inspired to do with your life?

I would like to grow up to be a priest because I love my faith and people, a professional skateboarder because it is a challenge, or a lawyer because I like history.

What are your favorite subjects and why?

Math is fun because I really enjoy multiplication and division.

History is also my favorite because I like learning new things about different people, times, and places throughout the world.
