Soyeon An
Soyeon An, is a student currently studying a double degree of Music and Science at Monash university specialising in performance in playing the viola in her third year. She started playing her instrument around year 3, at the age of 10 for compulsory music classes, and kept onto it with passion. Also joining ensembles right at the beginning of her music journey, she has never taken a break from orchestral works, attending weekly rehearsals in school and to the present day doing orchestras including the MAO, Monash Academic orchestra, string ensembles and chamber music along with her solo repertoire study, which she considers a very important component of music.
During school, she has competed in eisteddfods with the Orchestra and Quintet she was a part in, the quintet achieving second place in the Ballarat South Street eisteddfod. For her studies, she attends weekly workshops/ masterclasses to watch performances both within the university grounds and at venues such as the Melbourne recital centre, or to perform, receiving feedbacks and comments from her co-ordinator, Anna McMichael, for her growth as a musician. She has received lessons from musicians including Lisa Grosman, Helen Ireland, and Katie Yap in her recent years. During her spare time, she likes to watch Korean dramas and movies while eating cake, having a chill and relaxed time.
As a teacher, she would like to focus on working on various solo repertoires with her students, along with technical work ( exercises and scales ), duet work and orchestral work, along with aural work and theory for improvement and understanding with music, but most importantly make sure her students have fun and enjoy music, in a relaxed manner, finding a way through their own music journey.
