[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Violists are welcome everywhere. But at the highest level, it's no get out of jail free card and so competitive for the few spots there are. It's also hard to find a good viola teacher and [b]the repertoire is somewhat limited[/b].[/quote] Ex-violist here and in love the instrument but it’s frankly not terribly in demand. Yes there are fewer violists but a violinist can almost always cover a viola part in a pinch and there isn’t much need being symphony orchestras and string quartets. So if a child is planning to make music their career (which I assume if they’re considering conservatory) there’s a reason things like violin and piano are popular — you can do so much with those instruments.[/quote]
