EDUCATIONAL

 "I have, during several years, used many of Tvete Viks arrangements and compositions. My experiences are very good - both with the small but often very powerful pieces and the more advanced pieces. They have been used in childrens orchestras at the music school, in the youth orchestra KOZMOS and on several summer courses. One other advantage is the possibility to order arrangements fitting the ensemble you have for the moment (for example when you don´t have violas etc.). 

What I have discovered, is that the compositions and arrangements always have the following ingredients of:

Being god music

Being popular among the students

Having interesting parts

Having an orchestra sound that sounds good and feels "right"!

Introducing new solutions on playing techniques and effects in many of the pieces"

Leif Elving, Falun

"I have used several of Tormod's arrangements for strings with various ensembles. This is great music for young string-players. He combines traditional melodies with a musical language that has a strong appeal to young musicians. And the audience loves it too! Of his most recent productions I would especially recommend the 3 Nordic pieces; Byssan Lull, Visur Vatsenda Rosu and Uti Vår Hage, which we have performed several times with the Saturday School Orchestra at Trondheim Municipal School of Music and Culture"

PROFESSIONAL

 "Strings Unlimited is a norwegian professional string quartet, performing both concerts and corporate events. We are constantly looking for good new repertoire, and TTV Music has been an important contributor to our set list. Strings Unlimited has also comissioned several charts from him. We and our audience are highly satisfied with those, and with his stock music as well. This stuff is fun to play! His writing obviously shows his long experience as a string quartet musician."

Einy Langmoen/ Strings Unlimited 

"Tormod Tvete Vik and TTV Music has given us in the Charmina quartet many great moments with his arrangements ! He truly understands how the instruments work together, and he stays very true to the original song. The teares are never far away in the audience when we play one of our favorites; Byssan Lull."

Aja Humm, Charmina
