I've just started learning the viola. I'm Grade 6 flute and Grade 4 piano already.
I've joined an amateur orchestra and I'd like to know about what level (grade standard) I'd need to be in order to move over to the strings section. I'm having lessons and am enjoying learning - in spite of the alto clef! The standard of players in the orchestra is variable, but I don't really want to look like an idiot by being unable to play anything. I was watching the viola players last week and they didn't seem to move out of first position at all. Any opinions or suggestions? |
