How can i teach myself to play a 5 string viola?

by admin on December 4, 2009

I am wanting to buy a used 5 string viola that i found, but i cant seem to find any teaching books or info that i could use to teach myself. Professional lessons are not an option for me at this point. Does anyone out there play one or have any tips or info for me. Please be kind. Thanks and God BLess!!

I can’t really say how effective it is to self-train yourself without the aid of a teacher. I had a violin teacher for 2 years and had 3 hour sessions each week. I can say it takes quite a lot of practice to get the hang of it, but once you do it really pays off. You’ll enjoy playing your instrument once you become good at it.

Good luck!

Onegger, sonata for piano and viola, play Margarita Sipatova&Yustina Appolonskaya
