[quote=Anonymous]DS is starting Suzuki book 3 in violin. He's been taking private lessons off and on since he was 5. I started him because a friend suggested it might help with his ADHD, and I think it has. He can't join any regional youth orchestra because it conflicts with sports practice. He really likes his violin and often will research and teach himself new songs. Will he be bored out of his mind playing violin in an elementary school orchestra next year (ours starts in 5th grade)? Should I encourage him to stick with the violin, which he loves, or pick up a new instrument to keep it interesting in school? I'm not musical so I have no idea what to expect. For all I know, there are going to be several kids as good or better than him who have also been taking private lessons from a young age. We live in a fairly wealthy suburb if that matters. [/quote]
