to the Central Clef Instrument and Its Music (see no. 5) includes Karen Tuttle’s list of emotions, which is a wonderful resource to help students label characters in their music. For some students, coming up with a story line for their repertoire is a simple request, but for others it can be difficult and daunting. Having other tools to help these students connect with their piece, whether it’s through words, colors, nature, or painting/drawing can allow them to open themselves up to a new way of thinking about their music, ultimately allowing them to connect with their audience more deeply. 10. “Viola Power” Swag Last, but not least, violists love to show their spirit! Whether it’s a new alto-clef banner on the door, studio t-shirt, pictures of famous violists, or a viola centric concert poster, having some special viola swag is particularly important in mixed violin/viola studios. Younger violists beginning to build their viola-identity and older students who are making the switch from violin will also appreciate the gesture of being welcomed and included in our viola community. Katherine Lewis is associate professor of viola at Illinois State University and Master Teacher of the ISU String Project. She is currently serving as president-elect of Illinois ASTA and is a former board member of the AVS. Dr. Lewis performs regularly as principal viola of the Peoria Symphony Orchestra.
