[quote=Anonymous]I agree about the high pitch of the violin being less pleasant than the viola (especially when it's played by a beginner!) which is one reason I was glad my fourth grader chose viola a long time ago. (She's in college now.) But I had no idea until she started the lessons and brought home her sheet music that the viola uses an entirely different musical clef than other instruments. My kid had already had a few years of piano lessons, and her siblings who played flute (and had also started with piano) were able to read the sheet music for flute with no difficulty, but my viola kid had to learn all over again how to read-- the alto clef instead of treble clef. It was hard. The skill of reading sheet music will not be as transferrable if she begins with viola and wants to switch to other instruments (or voice) at another time in her life. That said, the viola is a beautiful instrument![/quote]
