I used to laugh at the nasty looks from the violins. I should also say that as far as musical training goes, learning the viola was next to useless. I can read alto clef. Yay. The most useless clef in the history of music. I can’t to this day read music for any other instrument. And pieces for viola don’t tend to be the most exciting. ---

[quote=“mozchron, post:29, topic:529536”] I can read alto clef. Yay. The most useless clef in the history of music./QUOTE] Heh. That’s the one I _didn’t_ learn. Had to learn to read tenor clef for playing the bassoon, but that was needed only rarely. Bassoon music is written mostly in bass clef, only using tenor clef for the most upper part of the bassoon’s range to avoid masses of leger lines. Then again, alto and tenor clef are basically the same clef, because it’s movable - IIRC, whichever line the clef is centered on is “G”. Never hit a baseball with my bassoon, though 😛 ---
