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.)
