Substitute Violist

My friends in the Lemonwood Quartet invited me to play viola with them tonight since their regular is on vacation. I played with them last summer when I was still working hard on learning alto (or viola) clef. Not only was it great fun to play quartets again, but I am pleased that my viola reading skills are getting much closer to fluent. Tonight I sight-read the music and got the vast majority of notes. Perhaps that whole year playing viola in orchestra was good for me!
