How do you learn a viola part quickly and well?

I'm having trouble with the piece I am playing in orchestra. Any tips on how to learn the fast parts really well. I play viola and I need to learn it before next weekend.

How do you learn a viola part quickly and well?
Practice, Practice, Practice...an old college friend and I would go to the stage on which she had to perform, and she would practice while I studied (very boring science stuff). The music was beautiful when she played well, and helped me to engrain my lessons. When she messed up, it also interrupted me. She understood the profound impact from not only an esthetic nature but also a practical nature. She felt her music and it sounded that way.





Regarding fast movement pieces. These are matters of muscle memory. Go through the steps as slowly as you have to, to make them perfect, and increase speed as you master each note, at each speed. If you mess up at a particular speed, keep repeating until it is perfect.





Do not disconnect your emotional impression from your physical activity. Assess each mistake from the emotional perspective. To master the piece you must connect the emotional with the physical actions. If you have the muscle memory down, God willing you will be able to take the piece to the next level once you have trained the muscle memory.





Good Luck the world could always use another inspired musician.
Reply:Practice until your fingers bleed, theres no easy way.
Reply:I suggest you break it down into the sections you can play and then practice the difficult parts at 1/2 or 1/4 tempo...and practice practice practice.


Good luck!
