I’m playing viola once again after 6 years of not playing!! I’ve missed it so much and definitely have to relearn some things. This was helpful and straight to the point, I love it!
me too i just got a viola for christmas after not playing since highschool, loved this video😭
I think this is a great explanation especially for someone who switches from violin to viola. When I get some students who want to switch, I'll point them here 😁
I play viola too. I like so much.
this video just made music click for me i want to give this woman a hug
Thank you for what you do. I know this video is three years old but I just bought a viola to play with my little sister so she has someone to play with. I played drums growing up so needles to say the finesse of a viola is out of my comfort zone but there is nothing I wouldn't do for her. It's humbling having to start back at the beginning and struggle to move forward and improve. One step at a time
That is wonderful!! Best of luck to you and thank you so much for your kind comment☺️🎻📚
I've been struggling to learn how to read alto clef and seeing it all in different colours is so helpful I will draw it out on a piece of paper. Thank you so much! Now I have a way to memorise it better. Essentially if you see a note (e.g. G the first open space) its actually one whole tone from an F on treble clef, same with the F, its in the open space of the C clef instead of on the top line. So that way, all notes are shifted up by 1 whole space. That makes it so much easier to learn! Thank you so much.
Wow! I play the Viola and this video helped me learn where the string note are, or live where!
Thank you so much!!! This helped me a lot, I started playing viola 3 years ago but forgot how to read notes, but I’m getting back on track!
Thank you so much for making this video because I know Leah’s aren’t really that comment and this helps me to learn the cause it’s summer😊😊
Back after a hiatus with learning the alto as a first-time adult. Thank you so much for a quick and clear reference guide. Those chords played on two strings were so BEAUTIFUL. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for this! I played the viola through high school but I haven't touched it since (nearly 15 years ago O.O) and I recently picked it up and would like to try and play again so this was a good refresher for me!
Thank you I play violin but got a viola 7 months ago and was playing it by ear this really helped and you explained every thing perfectly. Thanks soi much you made readying the music much easier!
I love your videos, thank you!
The viola was my first string internment I played in school...................its been awhile since I had anything to do with music.........
Amazing, Ms. Amber thank you, always. Stay healthy. Great teacher. 🎻🍎
Excellent instructions!
Thank you very much , this is very helpful. One suggestion : can you show the number above each note , I am talking about octaves.
Well done and good concise explanations Amber ..Many Thanks ..Mike
michaelreaper666 thanks Michael!!☺️
So helpful! Thank you! I play violin and thought reading viola notes were hard, but one lesson from you has really made it clear! I’m ready to pick up that viola!😀
Very helpful indeed. Thanks so much 🙏
I play for two years from 2014 to 2015 in school and now I just ordered mine can't wait to pick it back uppp😊.
i like making the occasional viola jokes, but I’ve just bought a viola and I’m super excited! my entire jaw feels that C string 😂😂😂
You should make your students write down what string they wish to know first and play all 4notes in that string and then move to the next note🙂
This really helped me out I was just doing viola homework and this helped me
Thank you so much! This really helped, I just started Viola and I was very confused but this helped A LOT thank you so much!
I have a question, she plays the scale on two octaves but there is still space on the neck, are there positions to play the scale in higher pitch ? Thanks :D
Yes you can, but switching positions can get confusing for a beginner
It sounded so beautiful
This helps a whole lot!! thank you so much ❤️
as much as viola gets paid out by that other famous channel, it really is a very lovely sounding instrument..
Thanks for this ❤
You helped more then my actual teacher._.
YOU PLAY BACH ON THE VIOLA WITHOUT SHEET MUSIC DEAR. YOU ARE AMAZING AMBER REED👰😎🖐♥️
MICHAEL STOKES thank you Michael!!
@@ViolinViolaMasterclass Thank you Amber : )
Nice explanation ❤❤
This was amazing, Thank you!
Thank you so much!
thank you so much for this simple and straight forward explanation. I started writing a string quartet piece back in the late 80s when I was around 19 and I've set it aside for all these years for lack of inspiration and being busy raising a family. I picked it up again now and want to finish it, I was very familiar with treble and bass cleff notation, but didn't know the details about the viola part. Heck, I didn't even know about the alto cleff. Now I think I'll be able to get it done. Maybe it'll evolve into an orchestra piece. Your viola has such a beautiful rich tone and your smiles are contagious.
Great video and nice to see that smile again!
Rick Bernst thank you Rick!☺️
Thank you, you are so helpful and easy to understand
This was so very helpful. Thank you so much 💖
Very very very helpful video, lots of light bulbs going off!🥰🥰🥰🧐🤩
i play viola and i have a test tomorrow tysm!!!
I've been playing 2 years I finally decided to take the time to learn how to read the notes (in class I just copy what my friends are doing 💀)
Nice nice and nice...
I love the viola you're so good
Wonderful. I’m an adult beginner. Do you offer lessons via Zoom?
I would like to learn A clef.. Tjank you... Oh I ve followed your Channel already
..
this is so helpful thank you
In the beginning did just play a scale?
Thank you!
Hi, this is a great explanation, but I'm wondering why you've made it so playback on other websites is not allowed? I want to share it with my students, but my school district has banned CZcams due to the ads. I have to imbed videos into Google Slides and share them that way, but I can't with your video. Thanks!
i have another concert in june and i’m having so much trouble reading notes
I know how to read G clef but alto clef it so difficult to me. What can i do ? Because when i read alto clef what i can see is G clef.
im hear cause i write music neeed 2 learn this clef
Thanks !
I am not a new viola I just forgot the notes because of corona
I was in the same boat
i love you
Do you hold online classes. I haven’t played since high school
On a trombone transpose all the notes down an octave now you can play the alto clef but sounds an octave lower
I was looking for alto clef the madman from scp foundation but I like it either way
Amber l see scale and one octive in first position. 👍
What size is your viola ?
