For violists · Mark XCIX
The viola section is small. The audition pool is not. Stand out before they cut.
Violists are scored on the same rubric violins are, with one twist: the panel listens for tone color and bow weight in the alto register more than they listen for intonation extremes. The Judge calibrates accordingly.
Alto-register tone calibration
C-string warmth, bow distribution on long lines, vibrato shape on the upper string — the Judge flags the things violists actually get cut on.
Excerpt-aware feedback
Bartok, Walton, the Telemann — known viola audition repertoire is in the Judge's training set. Bar-specific notes name the actual measure.
Cross-instrument honesty
Most AI tools were trained mostly on violin recordings. Ours treats viola as a distinct instrument with its own rubric, not a violin one fifth lower.
Repertoire we're calibrated for
- Walton Viola Concerto
- Bartok Viola Concerto
- Telemann Viola Concerto in G major
- Hindemith Der Schwanendreher
- Brahms Sonatas Op. 120
- Stamitz Viola Concerto
Plus orchestral excerpts, scales, etudes, and any custom piece you record. The Judge generalizes; the named repertoire above gets extra-tuned weighting.
