CYS is offering Free Viola and Double Bass Workshops to help musicians make the transition to either of these instruments, or to any elementary, middle, and high school students interested in trying out and learning more about viola or bass. Our session will start with an introduction to the instrument, followed by clef reading, intonation, and robust tone production. Participants simply need to register with CYS and rent a viola or bass from one of the reputable string shops in our area (see list below).
