    Learn viola with a teacher with 30 + years experience

    The viola is a beautiful instrument and many violin students opt to switch to viola. I enjoy helping a new viola player learn the clef, start exercises, scales and pieces for the viola. It is a very important instrument in the orchestra and in small ensembles like a string quartet. Most school programs welcome violists with open arms. You will enjoy the lovely sound of a viola while learning the beautiful music written for it.

    About Claudia F.

    I've recently relocated to Reno from the Bay Area where I taught private students from age 7 through adults of any age. I also taught elementary strings for 27 years in North San Jose. I play professionally and work with Symphony San Jose, , Monterey Symphony and The Reno Phil. I have coached Youth Symphony sectional rehearsals and chamber music. My students work on scales, etudes, concertos, sonatas, and show pieces. In addition they practiced their school music, prepared for youth orchestra auditions and did chamber music. Each year we presented a recital with a professional accompanist..We also work on other styles and genres for differing interests. My students have participated in MTAC which includes prepared scales, etudes, pieces and music theory for a statewide test each year.
