Viola
Taught by
Barbara A. Walters
Information for Fall/Spring 2009-2010 lessons:
Welcome to Family Music Studio Viola! Lessons are available from beginning to advanced. We use both classical and Suzuki methodology and literature. Although a classical approach is foundational, we also explore other styles of playing such as fiddle and jazz.
Seven times over the studio year, all viola students meet together as a large group (in lieu all other lessons that week). We use this time to practice ensemble skills, prepare for the final concert and learn about music history and theory.
Beginning viola students need to obtain a viola. Contact Knapp Music for quality viola rentals. Beginning viola students also need basic supplies. FMS sells starter tote bags containing shoulder rest, good quality rosin, cleaning cloth and books (3) needed for the first year for $50.
All monthly fees are based on 34 instructional times per school year (private, small class or large group). The first monthly fee is due back by August 3rd with the registration sheet. Subsequent fees are due by the first of each month ending with the fee due on May 1st for a total of ten monthly payments.
Private half-hour Lessons: $65 per month.
