Hi, Oh, I like this email topic: quite enjoyable reading how people became violists ;-). My story is pedestrian with a small twist that might help a kid...
I'm an amateur violist (or at least, I like to pretend I am). Currently, I just play at church although I hope one day to join a community orchestra (once the...
I can give you an idea, but please don't laugh :-) I'd love to snag something for $40-$50 but could wait a bit and get more to the $100 range. What I have...
For anyone passing through or nearby in Southwest Virginia this weekend, The Kandinsky Trio is performing Brahms' Quartet in G Minor with guest violist Roger...

Beth, You may be able to find some really cheap student bow for that price, but if you can possibly increase the amount you can spend to even $200 you would...

That's a great story in itself - reminds me of Ben Zander's book "The Art of Possibility" - here's a link if you haven't: http://www.benjaminzander.com/book/ ...
Dear members of the Viola Group, Some carbon fiber bows are not worth paying attention to. It is basically the same as with wooden bows. Choice of material and...

This is the one I recommend. The best bow for the money I have found and I would not want and do not need a better one. Real Pernambuco, Hexagonal stick,...
... The most recent Shar catalogs I have are the ones with holiday sale prices, not the complete catalogs, but they seem to carry Presto carbon fiber bows in...

yes, but do you think if you put it on a plane going to Asia, do you think it might be confiscated? That's the real issue Rick Draganowski...
This is such an awesome group! I am so excited to be a part of it! I have played for years, but I am a bit rusty. I have not been a serious violist for over 7...

For a nice scale book, I like Mr. Kimber's book a lot. He's part of this list, and I'm sure he'll pipe up now that I've prodded! :) Greg On Thu, 31 Jan 2008...
... Try the Galamian scale book, or maybe Carl Flesch....

I really like Michael Kimber's scale book...it is organized well,the fingerings are violistic,not violinistic,and there is lots of second position( very useful...

How utterly sad. Reminds me of the first house I bought - without financial help from anyone, at a high interest rate (12%), in a bad part of Oakland, CA, as a...

Hi, Does anyone have any good sources for Schumann's Marchenbilder and Milhaud's 4 Visages? They are such charming pieces but it seems quite a challenge to...
I agree with Michael. I think that the fast trill idea, for so long a stretch of time, may end up doing more damage than helping. The Dancla book is excellent,...

I began on piano at 5 or 6, and started flute at 9. At 12 it was suggested I should play a string instrument due to asthma, of all things. After one week on...
