Viola

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.

DD- E- D- G- F sharp(half note: hold for two beats)- DD- E- D- A (four fingers on D string)- G(half note: hold for two)- DD- high D (on A string)- B- G- F sharp- E(half note: hold for two beats)- CC- slur B to G- A (4 fingers on D)- G.

*Just for fun: After the song do D-E-D-F sharp ( "And many more!")

* This coming from my viola book so if any of you have easier versions please feel free to correct my answer.

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

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.

go ask Obama he might know!! $$$$

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.

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.)

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.

For all you viola players out there(like me!) try onlielinesheetmusic.com Hope this helped!

In the movie Shakespeare in Love, Shakespeare falls for a noblewoman called Viola de Lesseps (Gwynneth Paltrow) who has ambitions to be an actress (except that she has to disguise herself as a young man to do so). In the movie she is his inspiration for the characters of Juliet (Romeo and Juliet) and Viola (Twelfth Night)

The viola is held the same a a violin, though being a bigger instrument the reach you have to extend your arm is longer. When playing the notes on the fingerboard area, it is best to keep your wrist away from the neck of the viola and your fingers round and on top of the string. It is also important to get a suitable shoulder rest so that you feel comfortable.

The easiest way to play it is to start in first position with your first finger on the C string this is the starting D, then play as follows: D E F# G A B C# D E F# G A B C# D then play those notes in reverse for 2nd half of the scale.

The viola flower grows in numerous colors. Some colors include various shades of violet, yellow, white, light shades of blue, and cream.

Viola Davis was born on August 11, 1965

They can, except for the few notes of the viola that are outside the low end of the violins range, and the few notes of the violin that are outside the high end of the violas range. Mostly, the violin and viola have a different tone quality. The violas tone is darker and warmer than the violins.

Violas range from 11 inches to 17 inches. They may be smaller than 11, but that is the smallest one i have seen. There are 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15.5, 16, 16.5, 17 inch violas. When you measure a viola, you measure the body (just the wood part, not the finger board and scroll)

Well, there aren't exactly any types of cellos, unless you count the modern cello and then the baroque cello, (which by the way has its strings closer to the body of the cello, thus a shorter bridge.)

As a viola player myself i have a little experience of this. i must say unfortunately we aren't the most likely people to hold the tune in an orchestra is the first violins then the viola
