An octave is a stepping stone, of sorts. On a viola, their are multiple notes that play 'a'. On the G String, first finger is 'low a' On the A string, open is 'a' They are separated by an octave. An octave is the distance between two of the same notes. To play a two octave scale, start with first finger D on the C String and end with Third finger D on the A string. The Viola has four strings: A, D, G, C. C is the lowest.
I just know the intro...but you can just figure the rest out from the chords... Key: D minor RH: (*sustained D*) D FGF EFEDAGFEF Bb (octave up)-> BbAFG *up an octave* E CDCD, D FGF EFEDAGFEF Bb (octave up)-> BbAFG EDCBbAG, D FGF EFEDAGFEF Bb (octave up)-> BbAFG *up an octave* G EFEF <- (trills) LH: (*sustained D*) octaves D Bb<- (octaves) C (repeat for all 4 phrases)
To play a low D, play all three buttons for your left hand, and all three buttons for your right hand as well. To play an octave higher, push down the octave key (your left thumb) as well as the three buttons on each hand. To play an octave higher than that, play only the first palm key on your left hand, and the octave key.

An octave above
It's possible that you mean a half-step. There is one half-step between d and d sharp, for example. I believe you are thinking of an octave. An octave is a span of eight notes, so for example, from one A note to the next A note would be A-B-C-D-E-F-G-A, or eight notes, an octave.
A viola is in the key of C, and is tuned in fifths. The lowest string is tuned an octave below middle C, then G, D, and A. Each string is an octave higher then a cello.

In piano: A scale includes the full 8 notes from a given octave. An octave is a series of 8 notes, if its a C octave, it includes C D E F G A B and C. The scale includes the sharps and flats required of a key.
all main fingers (i.e. 3 on left, 3 on right) and the top one of the bottom two with the right pinky. and octave key if you want it up the octave. up an octave again is the two side keys and nothing else :) d # is the same as e flat
At the octave, eight notes above.
With violins, the highest string is E. And then fourth finger would put you up to B. But then you can shift, so there is no real highest note. You might get to a point by shifting to where you can't hear it anymore, but it is still a note. Although you could probably play two more octaves on it by shifting, notes that can still be heard.
