JAVS Fall 2008

Titus Ogunyemi, President of the Nigerian Viola Society.

introduced to the Head of the Strings Department of Royal Northern College of Music and some other prominent dignitaries of the school. We are therefore appealing to other viola sections to kindly inform us of various viola activities coming up in their countries. It is through this sort of educating, inspiring, and motivating exposure that we can learn and promote viola activities in our developing nation. Music is getting better everyday here in Nigeria, and a lot can be achieved if adequate support is forthcoming from viola players and societies in the developed nations. We are seriously working hard in developing young players and promoting classical music as a whole. We need more training in the area of acquisi tion of techniques and general viola playing. Once again, we sincerely appreciate the International Viola Society for voting for the establishment of the Nigerian Viola Society.

Viola Greetings! – Titus Ogunyemi President, Nigerian Viola Society
