Viola Studio

TCU’s viola program includes many activities in addition to lessons. In fall 2022, we held an in-studio etude competition (with prizes), studio recital, premiere performance of a viola quartet at the Modern Arts Museum in Fort Worth, and regular weekly performance lessons in the new beautiful Van Cliburn Concert Hall at TCU. This is all in addition to regular weekly studio classes at TCU’s Robert Carr Chapel.

For local pre-college and adult viola students and enthusiasts, we offer yearly TCU Viola Visitor Day events and fall/spring Viola Seminars.

TCU viola alumni can be found as solo and orchestra performers, university professors, prominent chamber music artists, music studio teachers, orchestra directors, and public school music directors. Some of our alumni, though strong performers, choose other careers and are now doctors, policemen, firemen, and lawyers.

Our environment and atmosphere in the studio will help you find your music career path and achieve your very best in whatever you decide to pursue. The approach to each student is very individual, depending on needs, level of performance, and degree program.
