Says Chanhee' "She taught me everything and fed my interest in competitions, ensembles, and orchestra." Chanhee joined the Silicon Valley Youth Symphony as a 7th grader, and became a principal of the viola section soon after. Chanhee has participated in many competitions and won first place in the Silicon Valley Music Competition and the United States International Music Competition. He has also participated in a variety of ensembles including a trio and a quartet; these groups have found some competitive success as well.

Around 10 years ago, Molly's viola teacher Steven Tenenbom of the Orion Quartet, along with
his quartet colleague violinist Daniel Phillips, each gave presentations
to her studio class at Juilliard on the fascinating ways that the
Dounis philosophy can change the brain/body connection and ultimately
improve one's ease and facility on the instrument. Molly says, "With so
many respected musicians around me suddenly raving about the benefits of
this philosophy of playing, I decided it was high time I looked into
this 'Dounis'. And wow. I'm so glad I did!"</span></div></div><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: center;"><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> Molly had been transposing the violin exercises down a fifth in daily
practicing and having her viola students do the same. But now, with the
gift of time during the pandemic, she was able to finally transpose
these exercises officially into the world of the viola.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_nCPMm6DIpE" width="320" youtube-src-id="_nCPMm6DIpE"></iframe></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> </span><p></p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.carrpetrovaduo.com/post/dounis" target="_blank">Download Molly's Dounis for Viola here</a> </span></p></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h2 style="text-align: left;">Feb 2021, NCVS's 2021 winning composer Andrew Wilson on composing life in lockdown and beyond.

It is Kató Havas and the New Approach all month to honor her - November 5th would have been her 100th birthday. Five wonderful teachers will lead us in specific exercises and also help you understand her approach. Those of us who worked with her know that all during her lifetime she adamantly resisted the idea that New Approach be called a "method" or "system". There are often misconceptions about what it actually is! Katò Havas’ New Approach gives us a comprehensive system using movement
and balance which leads to ease in playing. With the guidance of
musicians who studied with Havas in Oxford, participants will learn
strategies unique to the New Approach, including the concepts of “no
violin,” "the giving left hand," “no bow hold" and bow distribution
through the right arm "hinges." Katò Havas’ teachings have guided
generations of musicians in their quest to play with physical freedom
and wellness. Register via eventbrite links below. You must register to participate.
The sessions are free and open to violists from anywhere and we
encourage a variety of ages and skill levels. Please attend any or all
three this month and spread the word. If you would like to support our
efforts with a membership, renewal or gift, we would welcome your
support. All donations will benefit the Young Violists Competition and
Composer Competition. We are a 501(c)3 and your donations may be tax
deductible.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK6kZ0P7pi8l8SR92YgIH51t_gbYD0uNi3t6p2pRuiovzup9Y5l1q_uJ2pOR94ioiIbGQwnFBSH2VVKUh9nQxV2inUaGh6s_J1r5F1zqFzi7Vbbldr1BxLqo6-nlbeoIfELqi05gzds7wm/s640/StandingDuo.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="595" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK6kZ0P7pi8l8SR92YgIH51t_gbYD0uNi3t6p2pRuiovzup9Y5l1q_uJ2pOR94ioiIbGQwnFBSH2VVKUh9nQxV2inUaGh6s_J1r5F1zqFzi7Vbbldr1BxLqo6-nlbeoIfELqi05gzds7wm/s320/StandingDuo.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><br /><b>November 15th with Bettina Mussumeli and Jodi Levitz, 5pm Pacific</b>:<br /><p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Stellar teaching artists Jodi Levitz, viola, and Bettina Mussumeli,

New Approach. We'll be focusing on integrating the basic principals of
the New Approach with so-called “mainstream” string technique. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://youtu.be/RHEj30nqTwM" target="_blank">WATCH SESSION FROM NOV 15, 2020</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"> <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsljcNalmAg79hQ_EkQAVVfHPBNx9eefrm6NXAe_1oY5dIWh_JSzOdqXa6gRPvWwlP1jwuc_iblRzrqN6lZpFbTk6I-18HrXn9LH05wtOAMgbk5-65YswvzeFycf5gJEGPp0qSf0w2Ziyb/s640/Heller.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="414" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsljcNalmAg79hQ_EkQAVVfHPBNx9eefrm6NXAe_1oY5dIWh_JSzOdqXa6gRPvWwlP1jwuc_iblRzrqN6lZpFbTk6I-18HrXn9LH05wtOAMgbk5-65YswvzeFycf5gJEGPp0qSf0w2Ziyb/s320/Heller.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><b>November 22nd with Patty Heller, 5pm Pacific:</b> <p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Katò Havas’ New Approach is a string training pathway that focuses on
connecting physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of music making. Join Patty Heller to learn
the practice of miming, in which we first isolate movement, then combine into harmonious and effective
performance. Miming involves finding the pulse, directing movement with
the voice, working out the mechanics of bow distribution and
interval shapes. <br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://youtu.be/xEhB64YnxEw" target="_blank">WATCH PATTY'S SESSION NOV 22</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b> </b></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>November 29th with David Daniel Bowes, Jeananne Weber and Patricia Heller, 5pm Pacific:</b></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX5I4knKBGF-WkwlYkuo0u0737K2GnaGwfgEDooK3Bqlh_fA0iZY_LTZb0CoiTHlQ6I8WAmwNFrW_mFktEOIhPRY6uMEm_E2JaUGhL7snd7HQlsgwbFNJ9Qh0Ingy7tiyTNFToQ1NbFmqg/s2048/jeananne_weber.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1436" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX5I4knKBGF-WkwlYkuo0u0737K2GnaGwfgEDooK3Bqlh_fA0iZY_LTZb0CoiTHlQ6I8WAmwNFrW_mFktEOIhPRY6uMEm_E2JaUGhL7snd7HQlsgwbFNJ9Qh0Ingy7tiyTNFToQ1NbFmqg/w140-h200/jeananne_weber.jpg" width="140" /></a></p></div><p></p><p><br /></p>A common misconception holds that beginning to learn any instrument
requires an initial period of struggle where the sound is unpleasant to
the player and anyone listening. This session will demonstrate that by
applying the principles of the New Approach from the very start, we can
structure our movements in order to nurture resonance of the instrument.
Ease in the body leads to releasing beautiful tone from the instrument.
David, Jeananne and Patty created this session for an ASTA conference -
we are the lucky recipients of their extensive knowledge and experience
teaching and performing using the New Approach.<p></p><p><b><a href="https://youtu.be/1VfvmSGDYic" target="_blank">WATCH SESSION FROM NOV 29, 2020</a><br /></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">OCTOBER: <b>Eleanor Angel's Primrose Practice Tips, October 18, 5pm PDT:</b></h3><h3 class="text-heading-secondary"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX69jJ5wpvCuuNzITw7AEu16m0CkalKzHIOmeNyd8ArxeKZ9p5erblWuo8tsZYax8VMXcUeJdct2HSJBCeTsu9L9SNtzI2m_AZPrDo0CYPwi2OSmLG1445Fq1gipbKeJGqu33nsIYkKZga/s320/Eleanor_Angel-1200x800-BW.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="213" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX69jJ5wpvCuuNzITw7AEu16m0CkalKzHIOmeNyd8ArxeKZ9p5erblWuo8tsZYax8VMXcUeJdct2HSJBCeTsu9L9SNtzI2m_AZPrDo0CYPwi2OSmLG1445Fq1gipbKeJGqu33nsIYkKZga/w133-h200/Eleanor_Angel-1200x800-BW.jpeg" width="133" /></a></p></div></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Northern California violist, educator and Bay Area treasure takes us on a journey of discovery, how to turn tricky passagework flawless using William Primrose's techniques. </span>Using familiar repertoire, Eleanor will walk us through an exercise for

<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">The judging panel, <b>Cassandra Lynne Richburg</b>, <b>Clio Tilton</b>, and <b>Matthew Young</b> are to be commended for their thoughtful deliberative process and the valuable advice given to each competitor. Pianists <b>Lori Lack</b> and <b>Young Lee</b> provided strong musical accompaniment for our young performers.</span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">The five outstanding young finalists were <b>Vincenzo Calcagno</b> (Vallejo), <b>Pearl de la Motte</b> (Lemon Grove), <b>Emily Hwang</b> (Palo Alto), <b>Skyler Li</b> (Milpitas), and <b>Sihyun Jeon</b> (San Jose). The audience was treated to outstanding performances from all. </span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">We heard movements from the Walton and Forsyth Concertos as well as Bruch’s Romanze and Weber’s Andante and Hungarian Rondo. The young musicians also each performed a movement from a Bach Cello Suite and the work which received the 2019 NCVS Composition Prize, a solo viola piece by <b>Denise Ondishko</b> titled "Cogitatio". </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">We
all went home energized about what the future holds for those who love
string music in general, and viola playing in particular.</span></span></h3>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Many thanks to all the competitors, their families, and their teachers for joining us in forwarding our mission to promote the highest level of viola playing throughout Northern California. We are grateful to the Community Music Center and to Katie Wreede for arranging the use of the facilities. The event was made possible through the efforts of NCVS board members Daria D’Andrea, Katie Wreede, Ivo Bokulic, Patty Heller, Tom Tatton, and volunteers Polly Tatton and Kevin Jim. We were able to raise funds to meet a matching challenge grant from a generous Anonymous Donor which allowed us to fund the prizes and expenses. We are ever grateful for the continued financial support from our members and fans which ensures the future of this event. For next year, we are looking for a new venue for the finals concert since the CMC will be closed for extensive renovations. If you have an idea for a venue with a recital hall and several practice rooms, send us a note at: norcalviola@gmail.com</span></span></h3>

The concert and finals of the competition took place March 10, 2019 at the San Francisco Community Music Center. This was open to outstanding young violists age 19 and under as of Jan 6, 2019. See the NCVS Young Violists Competition page (button above) for details. We are at work on a May 11, 2019 Spring Salon and a November 11, 2019 ViolaMania 4 - watch this space, and if you're interested, email us at <a href="mailto:ncvs@norcalviola.org">ncvs@norcalviola.org</a> to get involved! This non-profit organization management thing gets tricky, since all of us (volunteers) involved in running it are pretty busy with a variety of other things as well as trying to boost the community's love for all things viola. So, thanks for your patience but in reality more will happen if you get involved yourself and <i>make</i> it happen!<br />
<br />
We wish you a wonderful 2020! Get in touch if you have any great ideas for new NCVS activities! Email us at <a href="mailto:ncvs@norcalviola.org">ncvs@norcalviola.org</a>.<br />

<strong>A great crowd turned out on December 8, 2014 for the NCVS's third biennial ViolaMANIA celebration, presented by the SF Chamber Orchestra on their Classical @ the Freight concert series</strong><br />
<br />
If you were there, thank you for joining us and being one of the 200 or so witnesses that it really happened! We had somewhere between 65-75 violists playing the Telemann Viola Concerto together at the end of the program, and the rest of the night had been filled with wonderful arrangements by NCVS board member Katrina Wreede like this one:<br />

and this one:<br />
<br />

<br />
as well as the Benjamin Dale "Introduction & Andante" for Six Violas, a Klezmer blowout by Cookie Segelstein, the Corelli Christmas Concerto, jokes read by Berkeley-based luthier Joan Balter, and several gift bags full of awesome prizes raffled off to lucky audience members throughout the evening.<br />
<br />
If you were there, thank you for braving the protests going on nearby, we know many couldn't make it because of the shut-down freeway and nearby BART station. If you are interested in purchasing a souvenir NCVS t-shirt, ViolaMANIA cartoon shirt, or ViolaMANIA 3 'Team' t-shirt, please email us at <a href="mailto:ncvs@norcalviola.org">ncvs@norcalviola.org</a> ---- we have a bunch still available and will sell for $12.50 shipping included.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4021904638376062185.post-90934724807160266012014-11-06T02:39:00.002-08:002014-11-06T02:39:24.295-08:00ViolaMANIA3 - The Holiday Edition - December 8, 2014How's your Telemann Viola Concerto coming along?

<strong>What?</strong> "Viola Labor Day," a workshop/"study group" for the viola music of J.S. Bach and George Phillip Telemann.<br /><strong>Where?</strong> On Cedar Street in Berkeley; contact the host for details, as space is very limited.<br /><strong>When?</strong> Monday, September 1, 11am till about 4:30pm with an hour break for lunch at noon. August 30 at 2pm will be available for a pre-workshop rehearsal for any participants itching to get an extra session in.<br /><strong>Who?</strong> Hosted by Charles Waterman -- <a href="mailto:cedar2110@netscape.com">cedar2110@netscape.com</a> or 510 548 4068 (H)<br /><strong>Who Else?</strong> Marshall Tuttle, workshop leader: originally comes from Berkeley, matriculated from UC Berkeley with a degree in music, masters degree from Hayward State, PHD from Stanford. He performs regularly in the Portland area as a member of a string quartet. He is orchestral chairman of the Mt Hood Community College music department. He was a founding member of the Berkeley Promenade Orchestra, which later became the Berkeley Symphony.<br /><br /><strong><em>Wait, what is this all about?</em></strong><br />A regular group who comes to play together on an occasional Saturday, usually playing Corelli concerti grossi and movements from Beethoven symphonies in an upstairs salon or room available that is ideal for a small chamber music group. Space is limited, holding just 10 to 12 musicians. <strong>On Sep.1st Marshall Tuttle will be the special guest, leading the group through:</strong></div>
<div>
<strong><br />Telemann <em>Concerto for 2 Violettas</em>Bach <em>6th Brandenburg Concerto</em>Telemann <em>Viola Concerto in G major</em></strong><br /><strong>The Telemann Viola Concerto will be emphasized for Violamania preparation, which occurs December 8, 2014.</strong><br /><strong>Marshall can help anybody. </strong> He is a wonderful musician and a good teacher and so anyone who wants to try has a good chance to push through these difficult baroque pieces that are written specifically for the viola. This will be a good learning experience for any violist. We can find a part for anyone of any skill level provided they have some orchestral training.<br /><br />The group will be working in an upstaisrs apartment. If you're interested, please contact Charles Waterman, <a href="mailto:cedar2110@netscape.com">cedar2110@netscape.com</a> - and he can give you more details including the exact address. Parking in the neighborhood is difficult. All you need to bring is a stand; Music will be provided. Weaker violists are encouraged to attend the August 30 pre-workshop session as a warmup if they desire.<br /><br />For more information, contact:<br />Charles Waterman<br /><a href="mailto:cedar2110@netscape.com">cedar2110@netscape.com</a> </div>

Where: Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse, Berkeley CA<br />
How? Hosted by the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra, presenting us on their Classical @ the Freight concert series.</p>
<p>That's right, ViolaMANIA is back! Version 2.0 - bigger, better, scarrier. Two nights before Halloween, we'll fill the hall again at Freight & Salvage, with audience and with players, as we once again will try to break the World Record for the number of violists performing the same piece at the same time.</p>
<p>Program details are nearly worked out and more information about the evening will come soon, but the most important thing is you mark your calendars for October 29th 2012 and keep your day free - we will have some pre-concert shenanigans beginning around 5 or 6pm in the lobby, including impromptu viola ensemble reading sessions; raffle prizes and silent auction items on display; vendor tables filled with local and not-so-local merchandise; and pending approval of our hosts, a potluck table or two.</p>
<p>In 2010 we nearly had to turn people away and the concert began almost 15 minutes late in order to get everyone in the door, people had lined up down the street to take part in the phenomenon that was ViolaMANIA! Don't miss your chance to be a part of the long-awaited sequel: buy your tickets in advance online! and save a couple of bucks off the at-the-door price.</p>
