Features: The viola is an indispensable member in symphony orchestras, concert bands, chamber orchestras, or string quartets. Over the past century, the viola has also gained a place on the solo stage of concerts with its unique beautiful tone and complex playing techniques, earning the love of many music enthusiasts. This tutorial is divided into nine levels and a diploma level, with each level including scales and arpeggios, etudes, Chinese pieces, foreign pieces, sonatas, concertos, and sight-reading (symphonic works and orchestral excerpts are added from level five onwards). To enable viola players to be exposed to, understand, and select works of different styles from different historical periods such as the classical, romantic, and modern eras, we have intentionally broadened the repertoire in this tutorial and ensured that the difficulty levels are as balanced as possible.
