Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm a sophomore at Wakefield High School.  I have been playing the violin since I was 3 years old when I started studying with my Mom.  Along with playing the violin, I also play the viola and percussion in the school band.  I began viola when I was in 6th grade and play it whenever it's needed in orchestra or small ensembles.  I began playing percussion my freshmen year during marching band.  When I'm not busy with music, I'm involved with my youth group, Arfax USY, and bowl in a league every Saturday morning.  USY stands for United Synagogue Youth and is for Jewish high school students all over the country.  In my chapter, I am Vice-President and I love it because I get to spend time with my friends and meet new people.  I have been bowling since 5th grade and I like it because it's the only sport I'm pretty good at!

My Favorite Classical Pieces:

• "Preludium and Allegro" by Fritz Kreisler
  
• Concerto for Violin in A Minor by Bach
  
• "Cappricio Espagnol"
  
• "Pictures at an Exhibition"
