[quote=Anonymous]Another DCYOP supporter/parent. I know at least violin and recorder start as young as 4.5 years old. It is a great program - students need to progress to continue onto the next level and eventually can lead to performance groups/orchestra. My daughter is too young/new for me to know all the options by memory but I do know that each group performs publicly every semester. Her teacher mentioned a couple of weeks ago that the youth orchestra performed at the White House. Even at the beginning stage/class, the teacher emphasizes the possibilities ahead of the students. It is extremely well-organized. I went to an excellent public school in California and although we had general music education through sixth grade, orchestra and band were not options till 7th grade/junior high. I would frankly be suprised if elementary schools anywhere have the money (for instrument, instructors, etc.) and time to sponsor/run an orchestra/band.[/quote]
