OTA Orchestra – What instrument do you want to play?

Posted on by

At OTA all students learn piano in the piano lab and then move on to violin, but Orchestra gives students a choice to move on to other instruments. Some day we will add these instruments. In the meantime, think about…. What Instrument do you want to play?

Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass

*** Violin ***

More great music has been written for the violin than any other school instrument. Whether you want to harmonize with the orchestra or solo stage center, violin will take you where you want to go

*** Viola ***

The beautiful tone of the viola has attracted students for hundreds of years. It is slightly bigger than the violin but with a richer, deeper sound. Viola is a great choice.

 *** Cello ***

The Cello makes the room shake and your bones vibrate! The great cellist Yo Yo Ma, performs for audiences all over the world and plays on soundtracks for movies (including the Last Samurai and Shrek). He started playing cello at age 4.

 *** Bass ***

Bass rocks! Did you low that the bass is the most versatile instrument? You can play the bass in the orchestra, a jazz band, and a rock band. Also string bass is the heart of the orchestra and you can’t live without your heart!

*** Harp ***
The Harp is a beautiful instrument. The concert harp is large and technically modern, designed for classical music. It can be played solo, as part of a chamber music group, and in symphony orchestras. In order to master the harp it helps to have a strong background in piano first.
