Violin, Kim Ye-ji, Seoul Arts High School

I want to thank my teacher and parents. My mother encouraged me to start playing violin but I think it was a good decision to do music. My favorite musician is Itzhak Perlman. I will try my best to become a musician who inspires people.

 
Violin, Hwang Jae-yeon, Yewon School

I am really pleased to see a better-than-expected result because I could not prepare enough for the competition, which was just before an exam for high school admission. I thank my teacher Yu Si-yeon who taught me how to listen to violin sounds and my parents who have been praying for me. Although I am still immature, I will try hard to find my own sound and performing style.

Violin, Lee Min-ji, Suwon Sinseong Elementary School

After being on stage, I thought I did not fully express what I could. But I am very pleased to win the first place. I want to study music in various fields and become a conductor, a concert player and a teacher. I want to thank my teacher and parents who have taught me. Thank you.

Viola, Hwang Taek-seon, Sunhwa Arts High School

I want to thank the Lord first. I started playing the violin when I was in elementary school because I liked the flamboyant sounds of the instrument. But viola is a mysterious instrument that captivates people’s hearts. I want to make my own viola sounds, move people’s hearts and make them think, “Oh, this is real music.” I feel grateful for having a passionate teacher and encouraging parents.

Violin, Jo Eun-bi, Seongnam Jeongja Elemetary School

Participating in the music competition was a big burden for me but my teacher and parents advised me to enjoy the experience, rather than trying to win. I realized, through the competition, that enjoying playing was much better than trying to win, and that is probably why I won. I have much more to improve to reach perfection. I will practice hard to move people’s hearts and help them fall into music.

Viola, Jo So-young, Yewon School

I am pleased to earn a good result. Various lectures including theory, chamber music and orchestral music at the Korean National Research Institute for the Gifted in Arts helped me study extensively. I want to thank my professor who passionately taught me to make a confident and strong musical expression. I want to thank my family who supports me always.

Viola, Park Ju-hyeon, Korea National University of Arts

I am pleased to have a fruitful result before I graduate from school. I will endeavor to become a violist who can fully deliver the music the way I feel. I want to share this honor with my professor, who guides me in the right direction, and my parents who trust me no matter what.
