About viola lessons

Now is your time to take Viola Lessons from pro Viola teachers in your city. The viola is the important mid-range of the violin instruments, between the lower cello and contra bass and the higher violin. While not as well-known as the violin, the viola serves to provide the mello, penetrating, and even melancholy sounds found in everything from classical to indie rock. The Viola is one of the most versatile and beautiful of all stringed instruments.

Viola student requests

I would like to find a beginning teacher for viola, I'm 24 years old and I've been a singer my entire life, I was considering doing a degree in choral conducting but I also want to be taken seriously by an orchestra. I decided to take up an instrument so that i can get familiar with 'orchestral ethics' and to improve my musicianship. I'm currently studying at Cal State University, Fullerton but I will be transferring to the Conservatorium of Music in Tasmania come 2009.

Kind Regards

I used to play the violin and viola in Elementary and High School and would like to play again. Playing the basics, without the dreaded squeaking, and reading the music again is what I seek

I am 70 years old, still enthusiastically teaching and learning. I never had the opportunity to study music as a younger person and, about two years ago, I had a short time to play the piano, At this time, I think learning to play the viola would be interesting and enjoyable for me.

If you are interested in getting me started, please phone me at

my name is and I'm currently looking for a private teacher. I'm a senior at Blue Valley Northwest, play the viola and am first chair in the orchestra. I've actually played for about 9 years now, but have never, ever had a private teacher! I'm basically looking for some extra help during the summer in preparation for orchestra auditions at KU in the fall.

I'd actually like the lessons sometime in the late afternoon, early evening (if possible) and I'd provide my own transportation.
Plea...

My son is seeking for an instructor in viola who could assist him in practicing a music piece that will be used to try out for Symphony orchestra. He wants to master the piece and also learn how to do vibrato. May I know how much will you charge for a 30 minute lesson for about a month?Is there a disocounted rate?
