Practice Tips with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago: Viola

What is the best way to practice? How can we use our time efficiently? How can we maximize our joy in music along with our progress? Through a partnership with DePauw University’s 21st Century-Musician project (21cm.org), we tap the wisdom of performers with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s elite training orchestra for young professional musicians.
Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just starting out, everyone can benefit from experimenting with their practice methods. In this edition, we hear from viola and Civic alumna Roslyn Green.

This is some pretty solid advice.

(As an ex-violist) it's frustrating to me how out of tune the viola is no matter how good you are. I'd be better off just singing my part.

Why would you give up?

Did you not have fine tuners?

Probably needed new strings

You're so much better than that gross Erin Rafferty.
