How to Play the Viola
Parts
• Before you start playing you have to know the
  parts of the viola and what they do.
Upper and Lower Bout
        Upper Bout- top part of the viola where the
        fingerboard is attached

        Lower Bout- lower part which is larger than
        the top. It includes the chin rest, strings and
        the tail piece.
Tailpiece and Chin Rest
         Tailpiece- wooden black piece of wood near
         the bottom of the viola. It has fine tuners on
         it and is near the chin rest.

         Chin rest- piece of wood attached to the
         viola to help the positioning of the players
         jaw while playing
Bridge and Fine Tuners
         Bridge- where strings are on and helps to keep
         you from playing two strings at once.

         Fine tuners- are used to tune the viola. You turn
         the little knobs slightly and it changes the
         sound
Neck and Fingerboard
        Fingerboard- long narrow piece of wood
        where the strings lay.

        Neck- upper part of the fingerboard.
Pegbox and F-Holes
        Pegbox- have the pegs and hold the strings.
        You can tighten or loosen the strings to
        tune them.

        F-Holes- in the middle of the instrument
        and is shaped line an f in italics. This where
        the sound comes out when you play
Notes

  name notes in music
• A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H
• There whole, half, quarter, eighth….
• Using math is and easy way to calculate how
  many notes are in a measure
