[quote=Anonymous]There are no advanced music programs in public schools, at least not "real" ones. The best you can do is be part of a excellent private studio, do MCYO or AYPO and competitions. You are correct that pursuing violin is EXTREMELY cutthroat. Unless your kid is incredibly intelligent and uniquely dedicated to his violin, he will not get concertmaster positions at the high school level for the best youth orchestras and he won't win first place in competitions. It's wise to transition to a less competitive instrument. Viola is a very good choice. That's just my two cents because I have a high school violinist in a top youth orchestra and I've seen how hard it is to differentiate oneself with that instrument. [/quote]
