Deirdre Chan

• Deans List, Pre-college Program at Manhattan School of Music

I am the youngest child of 4. All of us were required to learn piano as the first instrument. My oldest sister plays the violin, my brother plays the viola and my other sister plays the cello. I was forced to choose violin as my string instrument but I play better than my sister so I often play violin 1 in my family quartet. My third "instrument" is voice. After passing ABRSM level 8 with distinction I have been attending the pre-college program at Manhasset School of Music. I really enjoy singing in the opera. I was fortunate to be Dorabella in Cosi Fan Tutte and Susanna in Marriage of Figaro at my high school. I look forward to singing opera and join a cappella group when I go to college.
