#viola problems

[asleep-and-afraid]

playing viola is always calling your viola “your instrument” in non-orchestra settings bc you know damn well that if you say “oh I need to drop off my viola” no one will know what you are talking about

Dear Mr. Orchestra Dierector

I know that the violas asked for more interesting parts, but we meant melody, not ridicuLOUS ARPEGGIOS AND OCTAVE JUMPS

hey violists of tumblr... what shoulder rests do y’all use?? i currently have an everest, and it’s not tall enough and i’m getting neck cramps. i used to have a kun but it always fell off. i’m looking into a bonmusica but i hear they have sizing issues and it might not fit. does anybody have any suggestions.

It's jury season and I finally made the copies of my sheet music because I have no time for page turns! Make sure you're prepared for yours!!!

Me with Dramatic LookTM : I want the violas to have melody for once

Brother: Oh honey, keep dreaming
