Film scores are dynamic, and the best composers truly capture and convey what the film director is trying to express.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>14-year-old musical prodigy Sophia has a gift of composition and a finely trained ear to follow in the footsteps of some of the most legendary composers of her time. Composing music, no matter the genre, requires a level of logic and focus that Sophia has learned at a very young age. She\u2019s currently studying under composer Edward Top for composition lessons at the prestigious <a href=\"https:\/\/vancouveracademyofmusic.com\/\" aria-label=\"Vancouver Academy of Music.\">Vancouver Academy of Music.<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>With ten written compositions under her belt, it\u2019s no surprise that Sophia\u2019s six-instrument composition was performed by a professional ensemble. She was also the winner of the best Bach interpretation back-to-back years at the Coquitlam District Music Festival in 2017 and 2018.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>Sophia contributes much of her early success in composing to her Kumon journey.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-7122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_3163-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Sophia reads a large book outdoors\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_3163-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_3163-768x574.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u201cKumon has helped me with composing music,\u201d said Sophia. \u201cKumon has taught me that by setting small goals in composition every day, I will eventually achieve my main goal of composing orchestral pieces. Kumon has also sharpened my sense of reasoning and logic.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>For Sophia, she\u2019s always found a deep connection between Kumon and the world of music.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI feel that in a way, music and Kumon are related to each other. The overall structure and rhythm in a piece is like the <u>Kumon Math Program<\/u>,\u201d said Sophia. \u201cThe emotional and expressive parts in a piece are like the reading excerpts in the <u>Kumon Reading Program<\/u>. Music and math happen to be two things that are understood by all people without any language barriers, just like Kumon.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>When Sophia is not composing her next piece for a string quartet, she is perfecting her skills on the piano.
