I knew about a great Violin source, but just found the matching Viola tutorial channel!

Shows the notation, names of notes, finger placement and which fingers to use, AND you hear it - anyone can learn with these!

EasyViolaLesson - Video Tutorials

@wtw -

You might enjoy playing this one - maybe not challenging enough for you, but I think it's a lovely tune! It's got a couple motifs you could experiment with moving around on your fingerboard, maybe even to a different key.

I've been trying to get my vibrato good enough to record this on my 5-string Violin - but, my version has me shifting to 3rd position for some of the D, A & E string.

Isabella's Lullaby - from "The Promised Neverland", by Takahiro Obata - with 5 flats!

@ELCBK this is beautiful ! As I don't own a 5 string viola, I can see how this would necessitate some shifting around… or transposing some parts an octave down, maybe. I'll try it. There's even a 'karaoke' version that can serve as a backing track : <a href="" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Isabella's lullaby backing track</a> </p> <p>Please share a video whenever you're ready :--) I may do the same, depends on the difficulty, I'm not familiar with sheet music so I don't know whether "5 flats" means it's hellish or if it can be fine…</p> <p>You said something about having a 5-string viola at some point in the future ? basic question, but the strings are tuned the same as a 5-string violin ? C, G, D, A, E ?</p> </div></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div><div class='spPluginSection spCenter' style='width: auto;min-height: auto'><div id='ShareThisTopicIndex120470' class='ShareThisTopicIndex spLeft'><span class='st_facebook_large' st_url='https%3A%2F%2Ffiddlerman.com%2Fforum%2Fviola-talk%2Fsource-of-popular-music-video-tutorials-for-viola%2F%23p120470' st_title='Source of Popular Music Video Tutorials for Viola!' st_summary='@ELCBK this is beautiful !

But, I watched 2 fiddlers meet up for the 1st time - one played a beautiful tune that the other fiddler had never heard before. ...there was NO sheet music. <strong>It only took a couple MINUTES before the other fiddler played that new tune </strong>- and then he was able to play along with the other fiddler. So, that was my main goal from the start. </p> <p>My use of sheet music is extremely minimal - only if I get really stuck or want to check something. </p> <p>It's the vibrato that still makes me shout bad words!

So, I can play Violin & Viola music on <em>both</em> of them... <em>when I get my new Viola.</em> (lol) </p> <p>There's much more potential for creative playing with 5 strings.
