Arizona Violacademy
Violacademy is a day JUST for VIOLAS! The day will include viola ensembles, technique classes, and elective classes. Elective classes for younger students will be a movement class and older students will learn about the college audition process. You will also get to meet your state Viola Professors from ASU, NAU, and UA in masterclasses*. The day will culminate in the final concert with EVERYONE playing a group piece.
Any violist who is 5th grade through high school is welcome to join in on the alto clef fun, though it is recommended that students have one year of experience playing the viola to participate in Violacademy!
