The viola, a wonderful thing, renowned for its jokes,
What you haven’t heard of it?
What a shame, it’s a four stringed instrument like the others,
But don’t be fooled because it’s quite different than a violin
It’s bigger in size and rich in ton,
But the biggest differences is our lowest string, the C string,
We have the low string like our older sibling the cello,
We can sound alluring to the ear with our beautiful sounds ranging from sweet melodies to gloomy harmonies
Don’t forget us because we’re still important, every instrument has a part,
Violins with the melody, violas with harmonies, bass plays the bass line and cello are all of the above,
Together when we work we create music,
When we practice together we improve our technique,
Even when we’re tired we still try our best,
So please try to remember us,
The violas the best!
