[quote=Anonymous]I found out about the DC Youth Orchestra thanks to a DCUM post, and after checking out the website, it seems a fantastic program. my 8 yr child has been taking private clarinet classes in the past few month, and while she likes the instrument, her enthusiasm is a little lackluster. I played a instrument as a child and know that the first years may be difficult because practicing may boring but without practice the student does not get to the level where playing is fun.  I think playing with other kids would be a great incentive and fun.  The cost appears also to be a fraction of what private classes cost (and with a second child who would like to play this year, this aspect is also relevant). the big drawback for us: we live in Chevy Chase, and I looked at the map and the DC Youth Orchestra could not be farther from where we live. it is going to be at least a 45 minute drive each way, if not one hour. I would love to hear from other parents with children at the DCYO about the program, the good and the bad, to evaluate if the it would work for us, especially in view of the awful commute. if you live in upper NW, I would especially interested in hearing from you. the last thing I want is starting the program and then sinking after a month or two.
