[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the school. Some schools have many advanced string students, so advanced orchestra is exactly that. Mine found orchestra engaging at TPMS and Blair, but they had several tiers of orchestras, and their advanced/chamber orchestras have all kids taking private. Mine started at 4.5 years old. Some schools don't have that depth of musicians or level of interest in instrumental music in the student population. The may only have 1 orchestra, in which case, it will likely not challenge a kid taking private unless the teacher comes up w/ creative solo work. My kid's ES teacher did that. He was amazing. But, you can't expect that level of individual attention from a teacher or that level of play from the student body. Some kids who study privately don't take orchestra for this reason.[/quote]
