Arranging

One of Sonja’s favorite things to do away from practicing her violin is creating arrangements and transcriptions of music from various genres. Her very first transcription was a Finnish folk song that she played for her aunt’s wedding when she was 13. She loved the process so much that she continued to make arrangements throughout high school. Sonja began with her favorite band The Beatles (obviously!) and covered a few of their hits for an assignment in her high school music theory class. After that class is when the pop-rock quartet that soon became Eclettico formed and the rest of it is history!
