More about this title

Why we love this

Viola players at this level rarely get repertoire that feels current and engaging, yet this collection delivers exactly that without sacrificing playability. The arrangements respect the viola's expressive range while keeping technical demands reasonable, so students stay focused on musicality rather than struggling with position shifts or extended techniques. Programming these titles means your string students leave rehearsal excited about what they're learning.

What to expect

These arrangements capture the immediacy and emotional directness of their film and television sources while sounding genuinely orchestral. Whether you're playing the triumphant swell of Themyscira or the wistful melancholy of a La La Land theme, the viola sits comfortably in arrangements that let the source material shine through.

Who it's for

Viola students in grades 2 and 3 who are ready for music beyond method books but need arrangements tailored to their instrument's range and capabilities. String orchestras and chamber ensembles looking to refresh their repertoire with contemporary material that students actually want to perform.

How to get the most out of it

Balance your tone with the accompaniment track during sectional work. The demo track will feel lush and full; find your place within that texture rather than trying to match its volume.
Pay attention to the character of each source material. Wonder Woman's theme demands heroic phrasing; La La Land's pieces ask for lyrical warmth. Let the original context inform your interpretation.
Use the play-along tracks in individual practice first. Work out rhythmic accuracy and intonation before ensemble rehearsals so sectional time focuses on blend and balance.
Tempo consistency matters more than perfection here. Lock into the accompaniment's pulse early; if you rush or drag, the orchestration will expose it immediately.

How to use it

Build a pops concert around these titles, mixing three or four arrangements to create a cohesive program that shows range without requiring substantial sectional time away from classical repertoire. Solo arrangements also work well as recital pieces for students wanting accessible performance opportunities outside of full orchestra contexts.
