My Project

An orchestra is only as great as the variety of instruments that the students play. With these violas, more of my students will have an opportunity to play this important instrument. Having more violas in our orchestra allow for more variety of music that we can play as well as creates a different tonal color for our group.

Violas create the creme to our orchestra oreo cookie.

The orchestra oreo cookie starts with the cellos/bass and violins as the cookies and violas as the creamy center.

Not all students can afford to rent instruments so with these violas, I will be able to have more students playing the viola.
