wow you're REALLY good--do you have any viola practicing tips? I recorded myself and my intonation sucks (i just started in June) Keep the viola vids coming please!! :))

[AchievingMyDreams]

Oh the faces musicians make as they play. Don't you just love them? I myself am guilty of obliviously making somewhat goofy faces.

You're great on the viola, and you haven't been playing long? natural talent there.

(I also agree with sortudinho, haha.)

[Musicasa2ndlanguage]

@justingf15 -- hey thanks...i'm really loving the viola. i'd played the violin for seven years and never had any interest in the viola. then, in the fall, i needed to do sound samples on some violas and reluctantly picked it up. now i want to take lessons.

[enzoportaviolino]

[Musicasa2ndlanguage]

@philochristos -- hey thanks...make one??? they're definately fun to play.

[Bratsche2000]

Very musical playing! Wonderful job! What kind of viola do you play?

[Musicasa2ndlanguage]

@Bratsche2000 -- hey thanks.  i just picked up the viola a few months ago, so i haven't really invested in an instrument yet. i'm basically a violinist. right now i'm playing a German violin made in the 1950s.

your bow was a little careless here ;p but hey, what can I say, I probably have some of the most crooked bow strokes ever :P

And you already know what i'm gonna say..fantastic! keep on doin what you do!

[Musicasa2ndlanguage]
