The viola has been around almost as long as the violin. It is the middle child of the string family, having a larger body with a deeper, lower tone. Like the violin, it is held by balancing the instrument on the shoulder with the head and is most commonly played by drawing a bow across the four strings.
Throughout history the viola has most commonly been found in orchestral and chamber music. It was only in the late 19th and early 20th century that the instrument had its debut as a solo instrument in concertos and sonatas by composers such as Rebecca Clarke and Béla Bartók.
We are now open for both online and in-person lessons. As we opened our doors again, we want you to be assured that your safety is our first priority. We are taking additional precautions, including performing teacher temperature screenings.
Regularly sanitizing high touch surfaces, requiring masks/face coverings on school premises, and offering hand sanitizer in all rooms. We are also conducting business digitally as much as possible, so contactless payment methods and contact by email or phone are preferred. We truly appreciate your support during this time.
Viola Lessons are offered by Portland Music Collective. Most music schools have “faculty.” At Portland's only music education cooperative, we call our music teachers Cooperative Teaching Artists (CTAs).
Our string program includes beginning through advanced viola lessons. Students are taught in individual 30-minute weekly lessons, which can expand to 45- or 60-minute lessons as the student becomes more advanced.
Viola Lessons are offered by Academia del Violin for all ages and skill level. Classes are individual following a European system which allows to acquire knowledge of execution and memorization in an accelerated way.
