your bridge is too high, no wonder your fingers hurt oucchh..

[bnovota]

No, my fingers themselves don't hurt, it's the pads. I've been practicing guitar more often, so this is no longer an issue (got some callouses). I don't like low bridges, and it's all preference. I'm sure the very knowledgeable violists could tell us if there's a sound thing about the height of the bridge, I wouldn't know.

i saw it , but , it's a little to hard for me . Do you think theres any kind thats a little easier like .......... for a 4th grader ??

I guess you could make an arrangement on Finale or something. Finale Notepad is free.

How did you learn and get this song ? I been looking for it a long time.

[bnovota]

This is in book 2 of the Mueller Rusch books. I can't seem to post any links in the comments, but if you Google search "free viola music", there's a fabulous website with a free (and slightly easier) version of Silent Night.

Hope that helps.

If you're really asking, a viola is larger than a violin, and it reads in alto clef versus treble clef. If you're wanting the punchline to the joke... nothing, the violinist's head is just bigger. :)
