A violinist's touch won't get a viola to speak — the strings need real arm weight, and you have to go deeper. In the next minute, Muriel Razavi shows you how to sink into the string and find the exact spot, different on every string, where the viola resonates best.
Join renowned soloist and pedagogue Muriel Razavi in her "Viola Survival Kit," a four-part course designed to address common challenges faced by violists. The course covers essential techniques, including establishing a strong left-hand frame, mastering vibrato basics with an open hand concept, and achieving a resonant and articulate sound on the C-string. With practical exercises and expert guidance, Razavi equips you with the tools to enhance your technical foundation and overall sound production on the viola.
