The viola is the alto voice of the String family. It is larger than the violin, and its lowest note is a perfect 5th lower than the violin. A typical symphony orchestra will have twelve violas seated two to a desk for a large orchestral work.

clef, (French: “key”) in musical notation, symbol placed at the beginning of the staff, determining the pitch of a particular line and thus setting a reference for, or giving a “key” to, all notes of the staff.

viola, stringed musical instrument, the tenor of the violin family. It is built in proportions similar to those of the violin but has a body length of 37 to 43 cm (14.5 to 17 inches), about 5 cm (2 inches) longer than a violin. Its four strings are tuned c–g–d′–a′, beginning with the C below middle C.

The alto clef, also called the C clef, is placed on a musical staff whose middle line represents the middle C note. The middle C note, or middle C, as it is commonly called, is the C note that separates upper range notes from lower range notes. On a piano, middle C is located exactly in the middle of the keyboard.

alto clef The alto clef is primarily used for the viola, a mid-ranged instrument, while the tenor clef is sometimes employed in cello, bassoon, and trombone music (although the principal clef used for these instruments is the bass clef).

The Viola is also known as the Cinderella of the orchestra, due to it being unfairly neglected when it comes to popularity to the public and choice of famous classical music. Lionel Tertis and William Primrose were the two famous violists that helped the viola become more respected in general and as a solo instrument.

The official name for viola clef is “Alto Clef,” which is also called “C Clef.” The alto clef is shaped somewhat like the number 3, and the inner point “points” to the center line on the staff: Middle C.

Viola strings are C, G, D and A strings, with A being the highest, and C being the lowest. The strings of a viola are also tuned one-fourth down from each other. They are also thicker and longer than their violin string counterparts.
