What are the notes to the VIOLA.?
The Viola is very intricate to play. However, there are notes available for you to see on the net. Most of them are free for your taking. Youtube also shows you some tutorials.
Did the viola evolve from a different instrument?
Invented was it since changed it has and like look viola the did what.The Viola's ancestry can be traced back to the Viola D'Amore of the Baroque period, (the mid range instrument of the Viol family) which was bigger and more lute-like with a deeper base and 6 to 7 played strings each with a sympathetic string. The modern viola has not changed much since it's invention, but some variations of the basic size and shape do exist, with makers attempting to balance the instruments compact size with it's low strings by increasing the depth and the width of the base. (Accoustically, because the viola is one octave higher in tuning pitch than a Cello, it should be one half the size of a cello, but is typically not much larger than a third of the cello's size.) Today the modern viola looks and is played much like the violin, but tends to be slightly bigger in size and one perfect fifth lower in tuning pitch, giving the Viola a deeper, richer and more mellow sound.

Is your violin available for sale? I saw this posting from a while ago. Although I'm not the one who answered as to the value earlier, I would like to inquire as to whether or not it is still available. I collect old violins.

What is sound and How is sound produced?
Sound is a physical entity, unlike noise which is the perception of sound. Sound is an high pressure wave front through a medium (such as air, or a liquid such as water, or a solid), wherein the wave front is followed by a reciprocal pressure differential behind it. Sound is produced when something disturbs the medium and sets in motion the molecules in the medium. Frequently, (no pun intended) the wave front/reciprocal entity occurs as an oscillating wave, wherein there are a series of wave fronts (peaks in pressure), followed by wave valleys (lower pressure). The relative height of the peak translates to how much energy is in the wave (how great is the pressure), and the closeness of peak to peak (spatially and temporally) indicates the pitch. Noise, is not a physical entity, but is the mental perception of the physiological response to sound. A wave front is converted from mechanical energy in our ear into an electrical impulse in the brain that analyzes the wave information. The interpretation of the wave front is subjective and the brain may interpret the wave signature as speech, music, clapping, gunshot, hum, etc.
Which actress played Viola in the movie Shakespeare in Love?
Lady Viola goes to America with her new husband. Shakespeare writes the play Twelfth Night about her.
Although the plot of Shakespeare in Love is about Shakespeare writing Romeo and Juliet, and it mirrors Romeo and Juliet in many ways, it is a very different story from Romeo and Juliet. There is no "Lady Viola" in Romeo and Juliet; she is a fictional creation of the writers of the screenplay.
F-holes on a violin basically let the sound out. The sound from the vibrating string resonates within the body of the violin, amplifying it and giving the sound the unique sound of the violin. The sound waves bounce around inside the hollow body of the violin until some of it leaves the body through the f-holes. F-holes are used instead of round holes to give the violin that crisp, clean sound that they have.

What musical role does the viola play?
The viola is a member of the string family, sitting side-by-side with the violins, the cellos, and the string bass sections of the orchestra. Together they can play in infinite combinations depending on what the music requires.
In many orchestral pieces, the most important feature of the viola is that it is the "inner voice." It provides harmony and support for the violins, which are often in charge of the melody.
But this is not always the case. In several pieces, the violas have moments of great melodic importance, and can sometimes even steal the show. Composers such as Johannes Brahms even wrote works where the violas replaced the violins, for example in the orchestral "Serenade Number 2 in A, Op.16."
The violas work closely with the cellos and basses providing rhythmic support to the orchestra as well. The more pieces you listen to, the more aware you will become that every instrument can play many different roles in an orchestral work.
The body of the viola is made out of wood, the strings are made up of either nylon,gilt or steel which are strung by ahorse hair bow. The decorated edges are made of a substance called 'Purfling' and the chin rest is mainly plastic or even leather. I have mainly seen the chin rests made of plastic but sometimes they rae leather
Is the viola in the same clef as the oboe?
they are both Bb instruments, but they range of notes isnt.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Sorry, but that (original) answer above is half-false. The oboe most definitely is NOT a Bb (transposing) instrument. The Oboe is a CONCERT-PITCH instrument. The Clarinet may be pitched in a variety of keys; Bb today is the most prevalent, but the A Clarinet is (or should be) in the collection of every professional orchestral clarinetist. The Oboe's range extends down to the Bb (one whole step) below Middle C; the Bb Clarinet's lowest written note is the "E" below Middle C; because it is a Bb transposing instrument, that "E" actually sounds one whole step lower - "D".
The oboe's larger, deeper cousin - the English horn - is a transposing instrument: in F. Its written note will sound a perfect fifth lower than written.
How do you convert viola music to clarinet music?
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.
What are the notes on a viola?
On a violin, the lowest note is the open string 'G' below 'Middle C'. It is relatively easy to play the 'G' that is 3 octaves higher but a good violinist can play hundreds of notes much higher than that.
Some string instruments, such as the guitar or mandolin, have frets going across the fingerboard which allow only certain predefined notes to be played.
There are no frets going across the fingerboard of the violin, so - because each finger's position can be varied very finely - it is impossible to say exactly how many different notes can be played by a skilled violinist.
The first answer shown above could perhaps be trying to describe the notes played in what is called the "First Position" but is incomplete because it fails to mention:
- that you must learn how to play semitones (half notes) accurately, so that you can play tunes in both major and minor modes of the five main key signatures (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) and their flat and sharp key signature variants (A flat, B flat, C sharp, E flat, F sharp);
- that, in addition to playing normally, by using full finger pressure on a string, you must learn how to produce even higher notes by using the "harmonics" made by allowing a finger to touch lightly against a string in a controlled manner;
- that there are several higher positions - above the 1st position - which you must learn to be able to play even a small amount of the vast range of music that has been written for the violin.
After you have learnt how to play in 1st position, the next one to learn is the 3rd position, followed by the 2nd position and then the 4th.
There are several more positions after those first four, but you would have to achieve a very high standard of playing to be able use them...
When referring to a musical instrument, the word 'viola' does not need to be capitalised. Sometimes, it is a person's name, in which case it would be capitalised.

What is the lowest note on a viola?
The lowest note on the violin is the G below middle C. On the viola, the C below that. On the cello it is the C the octave below that, and on the double bass is the E below that. However, there are some 5 string double bass instruments that have a C string an octave below the C on the cello. (The double bass is tuned in fourths rather than fifths. Some one else will have to answer the question if the 5 string double bass is tuned C then E or C then G.)
How long has the viola existed?
a viola is a musical instrument, similar to a violin but larger. I would imagine their life cycle starts with a tree, goes through manufacturng processes, becomes an instrument and then is recycled or dumped at the end of its life.
