[quote=Anonymous]My 3rd grader gets to pick one to do at school. I noticed at school assemblies that almost all the band members are white and the bast majority of orchestra members are Asian. Why don’t Asian kids take band? And given that the school is 70% white, why aren’t there more white kids in orchestra? I’m Asian and played clarinet in band as a kid but grew up in a white town and we didn’t have a school orchestra. These are the kinds of things I can’t talk about in real life so I would love to know what people really think about it. Are you seeing the same in your schools? I think it would be interesting if anyone has an article I could read about this. [/quote]
