[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a dumb question but do they teach them from the beginning? Can a kid who’s never played the violin start in 4th grade and learn at school? [/quote] Yes—it’s a great way to try it out and see if you like it, without a huge financial commitment (beyond instrument rental, and most schools have school instruments for families with financial needs). It’s nice if they have private lessons as well, but many kids don’t. Mine did two years in elementary, then we purchased their brass instrument off the rental plan when they decided to continue in middle school. We also started private lessons when they made the advanced middle school band. Kid is now playing in an MCPS HS jazz ensemble. [/quote]
