[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's because you can start strings in preschool and you can't start winds and brass until later. And because Suzuki is strings, piano, and flute.[/quote] This is a good answer to OP's question. Kids start out on either piano or smaller sized violin when they start earlier taking private music lessons than 3rd or 4th grade in school. And because of Suzuki, for many Asian kids, it's violin. Once started, they continue through high school. There are some non-Asian kids in orchestra but they are a minority - and vice versa in band. My kids started piano lessons then violin. We are not Asian. Because the technical level of playing in this area is high and continues to increase, I wouldn't really recommend it, tbh. It's stressful and takes a lot of the fun out of it. And ultimately, technical skill is not music, it's just technical skill, but kids don't know that. [/quote]
