Viola Classes in Singapore
How many close friends or people you know are skilled in playing the viola? Choosing to learn this instrument seems like an uncommon event, as viola classes are not typically the first choice for new music students.
What others don’t realize is that the viola is a beautiful instrument that produces full and rich sounds, sometimes resembling a human voice.
If you’re looking for a sign to start taking up viola lessons in Singapore, you’re in the right place.
Why Learn the Viola?
- Unique Instrument: Aside from the idea that not many people decide to learn the viola (which makes you a unique music player), another essential thing to know is that the viola frequently serves as the connective thread between melody and harmony in both chamber and orchestral music. Individually, the viola has a soulful and more resonant sound that makes it different from other instruments.
- Beautiful Sound: The viola creates rich, dark sounds with a warm and unique timbre. It stands between the violin and the cello. It is larger than the violin and has a warmer sound and lower range. Meanwhile, compared to the cello, Viola strings are the same as cello strings but have a higher octave. Once you learn how to play, you will fall in love with it.
- Music Theory Benefits: Reading in Treble Clef for the viola enhances your music theory skills. You will be able to easily transpose music in a snap.
- Growing Popularity: More and more composers are writing music for the viola. This makes it more fun and interesting for you.
- Versatility in Music Styles: The viola caters to many styles of music–baroque, country, jazz, and many more. Through a viola music lesson, you’ll get the chance to experiment and find your element.
