Updated: Sep 30
Viola teachers can be hard to find, and viola students deserve a teacher who knows the instrument well. Evergreen Studios offers private viola lessons in your home.

Who viola lessons are for
Viola is a great fit for orchestra students, violinists who want to switch or double, and adults drawn to its warm, lower voice.
Students moving over from violin already know a lot. Your teacher will focus on alto clef, the larger instrument, and the viola's distinct sound.
Why in-home viola lessons
Personal attention matters for viola students, especially those preparing for orchestra seating or auditions. At home, the teacher moves at exactly the right pace.
Every instructor is EvergreenCertified. That means background-checked, abuse-prevention trained, and personally vetted, with the same teacher every week.
Viola or violin: which should my child choose
Viola is slightly larger than violin and tuned a fifth lower, which gives it a warmer, deeper voice. Students who are drawn to that sound, or who have larger hands, often prefer it. Viola players are also in demand, because school and youth orchestras always need more violists than they have. A student can start on violin and switch to viola later, or begin on a small viola from the start.
Viola sizes and rentals
Like violins, violas come in student sizes, and the right one depends on arm length. Our violin sizing guide explains how to measure, and the same method applies to viola. Most Wilmington families rent until the student reaches full size. Your teacher checks the fit and setup at the first lesson. Wilmington's humidity is hard on wooden instruments, so your teacher will show you safe storage and when to replace strings.
Our string teachers travel to homes across Wilmington, Leland, Hampstead, and the beach towns. See our violin lessons page for more on what string lessons look like. If you are still deciding, start with our guide to the best first instrument for kids.
