    The best part of the viola is that you can go up to the violin pitch but you can go low to a similar cello pitch. Its right in the middle

      True, but cellos r a lot lower 😭
      I kind of see cellos as the middle tier bc they can do things that double bassists can do as well and violins/violas. Sometimes they have the melody, sometimes the background. But violas usually always have the melody or harmony!

      Thank you. I've been playing my viola since I was in 6th grade. Since about 12 years old, I am 36 now; but am great full. I originally wanted to play the bass but there wasn't one small enough and my orchestra teacher said, "we don't have a viola player would you mind giving the viola a chance? I fell in love with the sound. I bought myself a 5 string viola because I hate shifting. So it's more like a vinola. Viola with an E string or a giant violin with a c string.

It’s been many years but I’d been thinking about playing again for a while and was trying to decide between the viola or switching to the violin because of the abundance of resources available but I went in to the violin shop yesterday and tried them both and came home with a viola and the trusty old Essential Elements for Strings book. Nothing beats the sound of a viola. I practiced for an hour last night. It’s amazing the muscle memory I still have and how good it feels to hold an instrument again.

      Personally, I regret choosing to play the viola over the violin. The music parts in my high school orchestra are so much more boring, and there are only 3 of us compared to the 12 violins. Plus, whenever I am carrying my case around, people always think it’s a violin. Then when I tell them it’s a viola, they say “what’s a viola?” 😂

    • @Fufuwasher
      @Fufuwasher Год назад +3

      @@weirdoodles That's no reason to regret choosing the viola. Repertoire in high school is obviously going to be very simple, especially for an instrument like viola. Your orchestra doesn't have the goal of actually challenging the people within it, which makes sense considering that 90% of the people in it have played their instrument for a maximum of 2 years. You could join a community orchestra or an orchestra outside of school. Also, if you've played the instrument for a while, I don't see why you should be insecure or anything when someone asks you what a viola is. I, and maybe you, play music for myself and others' pleasure, not to impress people with the instrument I play.

    • @hazeevisions
      @hazeevisions 11 месяцев назад +1

      ​@@weirdoodlesadding on to what fufuwasher was saying, you also should look at how many people choose the violin over the viola. So there's countless violinists, and thus harder to compete for a place in an orchestra. But there's less violists, meaning less competition and easier to stand out. You know what I mean?
      Also, it's a good thing that you get to explain what the viola is! You get to be the one who introduces a new instrument to people, and who knows who might be inspired to pick it up as well! Or even just introduced to viola music they've never heard before!

      Viola is about 2-3 inches bigger than violin. The lowest string is a C string, while the lowest string for the violin is the G. Viola is like an Alto, and the violin is like a Soprano (in chorus).

      Viola is bigger and heavier, it will be more work to play the instrument. In orchestral or chamber music scores, viola parts have less notes than that of thee violin. The sound of the viola attracts me when I was 15. I switched from the violin to the viola. Tomorrow, 12/13 at 5 PM EST, I will be interviewing my son Sean Juhl on this channel - LIVE podcast. He studied violin at 5, switched to the viola when he was 14. Last year, he joined the Pittsburgh Symphony. When are you located? How long have you been playing the violin? Why are you considering playing the viola?

      Where do you live? What is your budget? Try Shar Music, an online store. They have many choices. If you are a beginner, $500-1000 will do. A decent viola bow coats $600-2000. I suggest to buy a Fiddler fiber glass bow, and it cost about $70. Check it on Amazon.

      @@JuhlMediaIn my opinion, Cello is the easiest strings instrument to learn. I’ve only been playing for about a year in the strings category. I started out with 5 months of Viola, then got rid of it to get a Cello for class. I got a Violin from a family member, and started to play it. Then in May I got a Cello. I’ve never knew how to read any sheet music for Viola or Violin. I took lessons, then learned it for Cello within just 2 hours. I promise you. If you get a Cello, and try it out, then you’ll learn. But I get that it’s different for everyone. I wish you good luck on it!

      You can switch between the violin and the viola. Many violists started playing the violin first. Cello playing's position, the left hand and the right hand are very different from the violin and the viola. Violinist read treble clef while viola players read alto clef and treble clef.

      The basic playing methods are the same. But, viola is 2 inches bigger and heavier than the violin. The sound production is different. A good violist can play the violin well. But violinists need to study how to play the viola, working on the relationships between the bow and the strings.
