[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can kids who have taken private violin lessons for a few years participate in instrumental music in grade 4 or is just for brand new beginners?[/quote] Our elementary had two orchestras: beginner (mostly 4th graders) and advanced (mostly 5th graders). Those with previously experience could potentially start in advanced orchestra, though they might still be bored. (In MCPS, instrumental music is once a week for elementary , so it moves slowly. Middle school, with rehearsals every day, moves more quickly.) I'd talk to the teacher at the start of the school year to see what is feasible. It might be more fun to try out a different instrument and move at the same pace as everyone else, at least for elementary.[/quote]
