I like to make fun of violas in jest out of obligation for being a violin, but violas are honestly really wonderful. They’re beautiful and when played well they sound amazing! And violists??? Attactive and hot as heck.

My most recent work under development. It’s a piece for string ensemble. currently I’m deciding how to arrange the patterns, and where I want to take it next. The textures blend beautifully

rehearsal memento #4

Conductor: Viola, could you look at the tempo marking please?

Viola, not paying attention: Hmm?

Conductor: Follow the marking.

Viola: What marking?

Conductor, slightly pissed: You know that text on the top left corner of the page?

Viola: Yeah?

Conductor: Read it. What does it say?

Viola: ‘Viola’.

Conductor: No

As a former music student and current music teacher there’s one thing I can say that I believe all musicians will relate to: 90% of music is “This thing is this… Unless it’s not“.

Sheet music, but every time there’s an accidental you play it right
