The viola\u2019s tone is thicker and darker than the violin which makes it perfect for providing resonant solo passages in the middle of the orchestral range and the perfect antidote to the penetrating, crystal quality of the violin. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing to study the viola, it is vital that the correct technique be learnt from the onset. That is why it is so important to study this instrument with a seasoned musician. At the NW Musikon, our viola students are trained by our own virtuoso, Wim Wybenga, a violin specialist with more than 30 years experience in playing. Thus you can rest assured that your child will receive only the best quality education.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-5f9a9ec0\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Viola.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1375\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Viola.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Viola-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Viola-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Viola-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Viola-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Viola Faculty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-25aa4274 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/?team=wim-wybenga\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Wim.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1371 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Wim.png 500w, https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Wim-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Wim-150x150.png 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/500;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-25aa4274 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Wim Wybenga<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Viola Faculty Wim Wybenga<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1374","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1374"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1374\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2561,"href":"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1374\/revisions\/2561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nwmusikon.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
