About Surabi

My name is Surabi. I live in San Jose, California and I have been playing the violin for almost 3 years.

I have a little sister who is 3-1/2 yrs old. Guess what? She copies me and sings my violin music!!!

I have the world's best dad and mom. They love me so much. My mom sings Indian classical music and she teaches me Indian classical music.

My violin teacher is the best teacher. She teaches me tricks all the time and makes every piece very easy to play. I passed Certificate of Merit Grade 1 and I played violin at a talent show in my school. I also played for my summer violin recital in front of 100 people.

I want to complete Suzuki book #1 and jump on to the next level soon. My teacher says that I should go into the orchestra because I play so well!
