Sophia is an experienced London-based
copyist and engraver. She studied the viola for 5 years at the Junior Royal Academy of Music.
I was a first study violist at the Junior Royal Academy of Music until July 2024, when I left to pursue Philosophy at UCL. I now play with UCLSO and ULSO and participate in numerous chamber and orchestral groups alongside my BA.
As an engraver, I use Sibelius Ultimate and had over 9 years experience with the program. Using my time as an orchestral musician to inform my engraving decisions, I feel confident creating sheet music that preserves the intentions of the composer in a pragmatic manner. Some of my services include copying on-site, preparing scores/parts, and printing scores/parts.
Some of my current projects arrangements for string quartets - some arrangements may be found on my YouTube channel and the VVGO YouTube channel, where I am a contributor. I am also working on a transcription of Ethel Smyth's Serenade for strings from the original manuscript housed in The British Library; I hope to upload the score and parts onto IMSLP once finished.
