[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can kids who have taken private violin lessons for a few years participate in instrumental music in grade 4 or is just for brand new beginners?[/quote] I've discussed this with our private instructor and his take was that he's seen kids go either way, and it works out fine. For kids with years of experience, playing in the 4th grade orchestra may seem "easy" but also exposes them to some musical theory and note reading that they might not yet have fluency in. On the flip side, it can be a fun way to try out a new instrument with low stakes. I'm guessing the trick is practicing both instruments with any regularity. [/quote]
