Viola
The Viola is also a string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. A Viola is similar to the violin in shape but bigger in size and tuning hence has a lower sound to it which makes it special. The Viola is an integral part of the string quartet, symphony orchestra, ensemble and chamber music.
At Trinity Music Academy, we teach our students the technical aspect of playing the viola through a systematic step-by-step syllabus designed by the Academy. The course material includes finger exercises, control of the bow at the Heel and Point, whole bows, slurs, broken slurs, pizzicato, double stops etc.
We maintain a warm, cordial, conducive, pleasing and exciting learning environment so that our students have a wonderful, rich, progressive, constructive and memorable experience of learning to make music.
Through periodic internal assessment and tests we train our students to prepare different scales, arpeggios, broken chords, sight-reading, improvising and aural tests. We also impart a broad knowledge of Western music, music composers and their works, structure, style and period. Subsequently the students are prepared for the world renowned and globally accredited Certificate Grade examinations conducted by Trinity College, London, UK. These examinations are available from Entry (Initial) grade up to Grade 8 for practical (Classical & Jazz/ Rock and Pop) as well as Music Theory. .
