[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kid was in 4th grade, the teacher discouraged the kids from doing both Chorus and Instrumental Music and suggested they pick one of them because of missing too much  class instruction. Our DD chose instrumental music. The band teacher was great at scattering the lessons so a different class was missed each week. She is still playing now and loves it. Yes, they have beginning band in middle school, so you could wait, but she liked being in Band 1, which is for 6th graders who have experience. Learning in 4th and 5th gave her a nice base, but her instrumental playing really took off in 6th when it became a regular class and not just a weekly pullout. She only really didn’t like being pulled out during math in 4th and 5th. Any other subject was easy for her to jump right back into. Math sometimes took some extra work on her part to figure out the missed instruction.[/quote]

Not every MS has band 1 and many combine beginners with experienced players.[/quote]
