How do you convert viola music to clarinet music?

Answer 1

Look at fingers. If its 1 finger on the strings for cello, same for violin. If you are doing anything for cello with 3 fingers, it's 2 for violin. If it's 4 for cello, it's 3 for violin. Here is cello notes with fingers-

A STRING-

0 fingers on A string (open A) = A

1 finger on A string = B

3 fingers on A string = #C

4 fingers on A string = D

D STRING

0 fingers on D string (open D) = D

1 finger on D string = E

3 fingers on D string = #F

4 fingers on D string = G

G STRING

0 fingers on G string (open G) = G

1 finger on D string = A

3 fingers on D string = #B

4 fingers on D string = C

C STRING

0 fingers on C string (open C) = C

1 finger on D string = D

3 fingers on D string = #E

4 fingers on D string = F

RULES FOR CONVERTING

• When there is 3 on a cello, it's 2 for a violin
• When there is 4 on a cello, it's 3 for violin
• There isn't a note on the cello with 2 fingers-it just sound terrable.

Answer 2

transpose the notes

how-to:

on the alto clef (viola) the middle line is C on the G-string

on the treble clef (violin) this note is one one ledger line below the last line on the staff

A ________________________________________

L ________________________________________

T ________________________________________ the middle line = C

O ________________________________________

________________________________________

T ________________________________________

R ________________________________________

E ________________________________________

B ________________________________________

L ________________________________________

E __ ledger line = viola's mid. C

use this to move the notes around, but if the song includes the open C-string on the viola, you have to raise the notes up an octave for the violin.

Answer 3

Well, you could... It's a question of how hard it would be. The cello book is written in bass clef, and violin reads treble clef, so that's an initial barrier unless the violinist reads the other clef. Then there's the fact that the cello is pitched one-and-a-half octaves lower, so the violinist would have to transpose up one or two octaves (depending on the range of the cello piece). The cello's strings are C-G-D-A, while the violin's are G-D-A-E, so a piece that fits the 1st position range (the easier lower range) on the cello would have to be played in a relatively higher range on the violin, probably making the player shift to higher positions; it might or might not be comfortable. And since you wouldn't be playing on the same strings, any fingering or string markings would be off. Again, a lot depends on how complicated the music is, what range it covers, etc.

Answer 4

Clarinets are in the key of B flat, which means if you tell them to play a C it'll sound like a B flat. They also use the treble clef. Convert the music from the alto clef to the treble, and then transpose the music one step lower.

Answer 5

If you know how to read BOTH clefs (piano= Treble and Bass & Viola being Alto), then write the letter of each note, find that note on the Alto clef, and write it in. Hope this helped.

Answer 6

first, you change the tone of pitch. of the piano.

Answer 7

its the same as normal sheet music?
