[quote=Anonymous]At my kid's MCPS elementary school, I seem to recall orchestra was a pull-out class during the school day, but maybe Westbrook is different. When you say after-school lessons, you mean you general schedule or music lesson? If you anticipate a successful multi-year instrumental journey with private youth orchestra, All-County and All-State in middle and high school, or other competitions down the road, then your kid needs private lessons anyway, year round. Learning an instrument isn't a group activity like sports. Private lessons are for technique and developing one's phrasing, and group lessons are for listening to other people (school orchestras aren't for the playing itself, which is very low quality, but mostly for socializing with other music enthusiasts).
