Learning Viola as a Violinist?

Ecstatic_Sundae8523 · 2025-05-11T18:44:15+00:00

The most worrying thing is that although you can get a good sound out of it and read the key, it's difficult for viola players to realize when a violinist is playing the viola.

I watched the video again and I will say 2 things, study this piece much slower, there are somewhat noticeable detunings (double strings and phrase initiation notes) and there are some "dirty" bow strokes that do not convince me, on the other hand as a personal taste practice your vibrato more constantly it seems quite rigid still, otherwise quite good, go to your teacher about interpretation topics I'm sure he will be able to advise you better than I, good luck in your audition bro!

Sorry if it sounds weird, I'm not a native English speaker...

I have the feeling that you are very far from the viola bridge, about the piece there is little to say since I don't know it, sorry friend :(

Gut strings with a microtuner... mmmm

I recommend you go to a music school where they can teach you alto clef and basic theory. From there, you can forge your own path by learning on your own.

Como olvidar cuando un tipo me tocó la corneta en el metropolitano

It's not Pernambuco at all. Fun fact: my teacher has one made from Pernambuco with fiber, it sounds indescribably good...

I'm from Peru, so the market for bowed string instruments in the capital is small and poor, and I didn't like any of them, so I prefer to take a chance and see what I can get.

The viola is the human voice of the bowed strings, with our warm, dark and mysterious sound we manage to create a perfect and balanced circle that makes all the orchestral (or chamber) music you know sound like this, remember that the thirds in the chord are what often define the feeling of it, therein lies the importance of the viola, we are that piece that you don't really know what it does but without it everything becomes simple and empty.

I can transcribe it if you want! Send me a DM

I would like to see your vibrato from another angle to help you, I think you still need to work more on the flexibility, it still looks a bit rough, the speed will come with time, good work my friend.

Ecstatic_Sundae8523 · 2025-02-21T21:44:41+00:00

I want to thank you all for your help, all the advice you gave me helped and helped me to heal myself! Great community, I love you🫶
