[quote=Anonymous]I have music loving kid who was begging to play at 6 but I couldn't afford the lessons then along with daycare for younger siblings, so we put it off. Fast forward to middle school when we moved to a new district and we're able to set up lessons. She initially wanted strings but it was a wealthy heavily Asian district ( we're Asian too but not 1st gen.) I knew she was going to be at a disadvantage compared to the kids who had been playing since preschool so I steered her to band where she fell in love with the flute. We're both very happy with the decision. She rapidly progressed because of her hard work and plays in the orchestra when they need more flutes but she loves band and even marching band. It seems a little more laid back in band and that's not necessarily a slam on Asians. Even the kids of other ethnicities in orchestra seem to have taken lessons from a young age. That can lead to a lot of intensity. [/quote]
