Older students may prepare a solo for the Florida School Music Association (FSMA) Solo & Ensemble Music Performance Assessment. Adults in Titusville can set a personal goal, from reading more fluently to returning to a piece they once enjoyed.

The Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra offers another chance to hear orchestral playing. Chamber concerts can also reveal how viola lines pass between players rather than always carrying the melody.

Size depends on more than body length: string length, shoulder width and neck shape matter too, and a larger viola is not automatically better. If your home in Titusville has close neighbors or shared walls, ask your teacher to help you think through practice timing and a mute; neither changes the need for a comfortable fit. Keep the instrument in its case when you are not playing, and have its strings, bridge and bow checked when needed.
