[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone's kid take Orchestra all 4 years of high school?  DS isn't planning to major in music but enjoys his Orchestra class.  It is a bit like down time.  He likes his instrument and is involved in Youth Orchestra outside of school.  I am just curious if it's a waste of an entire class period (x3)  to be taking it every year after the required 1 year for fine arts.  Makes me wonder how colleges sees this if the student is not planning to minor in music in college.[/quote]

I feel sorry for your kid that he has a parent who thinks playing music beyond the requirement is a waste of time. I still play music as an adult. [/quote]

Relax!  No need to twist your undies into a knot.

And no need to feel sorry.  It is not like he is deprived of music just because he isn't taking all 4 years of orchestra.  He enjoys music, but does plenty outside of school.  He has other interests but recently asked me if I think doing 4 years of Orchestra is worthwhile when he also has other classes he might want to take.[/quote]

We’ll do you think it’s worthwhile? You haven’t answered that. [/quote]
