After having an amazing experience this past spring with the Spring Viola Audition workshops, I am thrilled to announce this year’s Summer Viola Workshops. I will be bringing them back to the National Opera Center, which is an excellent centrally located. In the spring had the chance to work with a few really talented high schoolers (all of whom came to ACSM’s Viola Day) and a grad student composer who was polishing her skills as a violist for future auditions.

These workshops will be taking place on Saturdays July 12^th, July 19^th, (from 11:00am-1:00pm) and August 2^nd and August 9^th (from 10:00am-12:00pm).

These workshop will be in person, and available to all serious viola students (High School students Grades 9 and up, College, and young emerging violists) who are looking to workshop their audition materials for upcoming auditions. Each week there will be a different focus for repertoire in the studio classes (Week 1- Scale Jam; Week 2- Bach Around the Clock; Week 3- Ode to A Concerto; Week 4- Gearing Up for Auditions). In addition, private lessons will also be available, either on the same date as the masterclass, or on a different day of the week. There will also be an audit option for those who want to observe the workshops, but may not be in a position where they are performing.

Please help get the word out about these workshops if you know of any violists who are looking for a chance to get themselves in shape this summer!
