    Lmao as a casual viola player this is so funny to me. I remember in high school most of the viola section could read treble with ease because "back in the day" it was hard to find free sheet music online in alto. So when we got bored we would play violin pieces on our violas. But if any of the violin section tried to read in alto they'd reeeeeeeeeealllllllly have to think about it and still get notes wrong.

    I actually genuinely really properly definitely love the deep, mellow tone of a viola. Played well, it’s an amazing instrument. Instead of hating it (I know, I know), they should duet together - one violin, one viola. Maybe changing who’s on which one. Harness the possibilities. We know you’re great violinists, now prove your versatility 😉
    I play the cello, by the way. Appreciating deep tones is in my bones.

      Hey, there is an awesome violin and viola duet that was arranged by something Halvorsen that is Handel's passacaglia. If you look up Halvorsen viola violin duet passacaglia you could probably find it. Although the violin is more of the driving melody, the viola has its fair share of difficulty in there as well!

      That’s great to hear as a violist! We r def under appreciated especially in highschool orchestras, there were only a handful of us in mine and we always got stuck with boring pieces-never as melodic as the violin and never packing the punch of the rhythm like the cellos. But the instrument itself is so beautiful, it can reach high notes like the violin but also produces deeper and warmer sounds which I love! So sad to read about people hating on it! ❤

      I was the exact same. My violin teacher was also a violist and viola teacher, and she convinced me to try the viola instead. I refused for almost a year, meanwhile there was a viola on display in the music shop where I learn. I finally cracked and gave it a go. I absolutely loved it and a few months after, after saving up and gathering my birthday money, I bought the viola in the shop. I tried other violas but I couldn’t look past the first one I played.

  • @agneschristinejengalacio9149

    I didn’t know a viola sounds like this. It’s actually beautiful. I think it’s the sound..or idk, it doesn’t matter to me what instrument is used as long as it produces beautiful sounds.
    The viola is like the older sibling but is really underrated and the violin is like the younger sibling that parents favor.
    I’m not a musician but I have this scene in my head where a viola would fit for melodramatic scenes. Violin is just as good, but the viola has its unique “flavor” that you would not hear from a violin. I wish I can explain it well, but I just can’t. I have no words for it, but here’s a few: beautiful, rich, and deep.

    A few things that will always help. First, use the lower half of the bow and not the tip. You need more weight and cannot just slide around. Concentrate the weight of the bow on the string, especially the C string. You gotta work for the sound because the viola doesn't play itself. Second, make sure you use arm vibrato to bring out the natural sound of the viola. Since it is a larger instrument, it needs a larger vibrato. Third, your thumb can follow the fingerboard for the highest registers. I hope you enjoyed playing in the viola gang! Also, alto clef is awesome! Also, Brett won because he had a better overall sound even though he had trouble with Alto Clef!
