As longtime music teachers, we’ve tried many different approaches to help absolute beginners learn to play an instrument. We spent over twenty years teaching adult viola lessons and adult 5-string violin lessons, using classical viola and bluegrass fiddle books to develop the best practice strategies for 5-string violin technique.
In 2023 we changed our studio name to Campfire Music Collective to better reflect our mission to bring music back into daily life. Along with ditching our old name, Boise Music Lessons, we also decided to ditch our dependence on classical viola method books!
Instead, we created our own musical curriculum combining our extensive knowledge of approachable music theory, current neuroscience research, and comprehensive violin technique; we teach people how to jam with others and play popular songs on the 5-string violin!
Nowadays, we much prefer our engaging and immersive Song Cycle Method featuring online tutorials, 1:1 lessons, and group campfires over all other approaches to learning an instrument.
That said, if you’re looking to teach yourself to play the 5-string violin, sometimes a viola lesson book can be a valuable resource. We thought we’d share some of our favorite viola books* that we discovered over decades of teaching classical viola and bluegrass fiddle to help you get started learning the 5-string violin!
