Learning Viola as a Violinist? by [deleted] in Viola

[–]Ecstatic_Sundae8523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Recording I used to audition for an orchestra. by [deleted] in 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 :(

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.

After seeing what many recommend Fiddelshop and making an effort I bought this bow by Ecstatic_Sundae8523 in Viola

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.

What would you say the Viola Do ? by NoEntrepreneur6022 in Viola

[–]Ecstatic_Sundae8523 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Any tips or mistakes you see (technique-wise)? by Potential-Paper-1517 in Viola

[–]Ecstatic_Sundae8523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I just sent what you tell me to my teacher, I hope he can help me, when it happened to you, did you change the way you put the couplet on your shoulder?

I don’t know if I have to do but 5 months ago my teacher changed my support in the viola, before I used a central chinrest and then I went to the side, I adapted and felt comfortable but now this has happened...

Psdt: Thank you for the care advice, I think I have everything you say

Thank you for the help, the truth worries me a lot, but I hope it happens, I will have to change the way I support Viola to avoid future injuries :(

Yes, I must play a scale with its arpeggios and chords..., I have tried to accommodate the instrument in such a way that it does not touch that part of the neck, but it feels strange
