So, after a very long hiatus, I picked up my viola to play again. And reminded myself quite quickly that I was never really the best player to begin with, and really, a viola needs a violin, or at least a cello, in order to 'fit' properly... I think it always was appropriate that I played viola - the supporting instrument, the undertone, the alto of the group - not the flashy violin, not the melodious cello, but really, backup and support...
However, now that it's re-emerged, I'm wondering how and where I could play it at my level, and strongly considering re-joining an orchestra again... hmmm, maybe that's just wishful thinking....

I didn't know that you played the viola - cool! I would love to learn to play the cello - if I ever get the time, it's certainly near the top of the list. Not sure if there are many cello teachers 'round these parts, though!
I'd personally rather listen to a viola than a violin anyday! Maybe you could start a viola duo with our Sarah?
