Orchestra

Hello! I'm going to talk about my orchestra instrument. If I haven't mentioned it already I play viola. It's a little bigger than the violin. It also sounds a bit lower. It also has one less string than the violin. We are currently working on the piece called Gaelic Castle. It's a very nice song. Only the people who have been playing for a while are playing that song. This would be my third year playing. The new people are doing really basic stuff and I get stuck having to do this song where we literally just play on one string. I guess it can be good practice though. We only have two days of practice, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I usually leave my viola in my orchestra locker after rehearsals on Tuesdays because we have it again on Wednesday. After the rehearsal on Wednesday I take it home. I can't really practice the rest of the week because of homework and stuff. So I usually practice on the weekends. Playing the viola is hard but fun at the same time.  I hope to keep doing this in high school too.
