I like Your playing very much!!! Are You teaching viole d' amore too?

[RachelBartonPine]

I would love to give someone a lesson on viola d'amore if anyone wanted one! :)

I really hope you post more videos of viola d'amore performances. Such a great instrument!

While your stance is mostly correct, as a viola performance major with 12 years of violin experience, those who play the viola correctly can attain the pitch stability at higher registers. The majority of pieces use violins because many composers don't bother with the alto clef, and quite frankly the viola is 3 times harder to play than a violin is. Excellent video, I've always wanted a viola d'amore :)

I saw you playing live at the University of St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois a month or so back. It was pretty nice. I really like the sound of the viola d'amore! You should write a sonata on it :)

A beautiful instrument. I should love to write a piece for it, if only to add some variety to the repertoire.
