Solid Solo Viola Book for Quick Study
For solo viola gigs or background music, this 'First 50' collection is quite useful. The arrangements are straightforward and immediately recognizable, making it easy to quickly learn or sight-read popular requests. As a 'Viola Solo' book, it naturally lacks chord symbols, so be prepared to provide your own accompaniment if needed. A good mix of pop and standard tunes, with manageable page turns for most pieces.

Excellent Repertoire for Developing Viola Students
This Hal Leonard collection is a fantastic resource for my viola students. The 'easy to intermediate' arrangements are perfectly suited for skill-building, offering clear notation that significantly aids rhythm and sight-reading practice. Each streamlined melody effectively captures the essence of the tunes without overwhelming newer players. The diverse selection of pop hits, movie themes, and classical standards keeps students highly engaged and motivated.

Fun and Achievable for Weekend Viola Practice!
I absolutely love this collection! As an adult learner, I want to play recognizable songs, and this book truly delivers. The 'easy to intermediate' arrangements make it enjoyable and totally achievable without needing hours of intense practice. I can actually play movie themes like 'My Heart Will Go On' and current pop hits, and they sound great. Perfect for relaxing with my viola and feeling like I'm making real music.

Inspiring Melodies, Great for Instrumental Adaptation
While specifically a 'Viola Solo' collection, the 'easy to intermediate' arrangements here offer a robust and clear melody line for each popular song. For a collaborative pianist or vocal coach, these lines could be excellent starting points for crafting custom instrumental accompaniments or exploring melodic interpretation. The simplicity makes it easy to discern harmonic intent, though direct vocal range support or piano texture isn't present in this solo volume.
