[quote=Anonymous]Let it go and join a more rigorous group outside of school. This was the program they had when you signed up. Addressing this will most likely just ruffle feathers, create an awkward social situation for you and lead to no positive outcome for your child. It takes time to develop a solid program. If, by miracle of miracles, the admin. decided to jump on this right away, your child will have graduated by the time the new solid program is firmly established.

Also, the comment about challenges with building a solid program in a small school is the issue. I grew up in rigorous competitive concert and marching band programs. I loved it and trained as an instrumental teacher. Now I teach in a small private. Have discussed at length a few different possibilities for trying to improve instrumental offerings during the school day. It's just not feasible mostly because of scheduling, and not really being able to rationalize hiring all the extra people you would need to have the separate music tracks--choral, band, general in such a small school. Instead we put a lot of effort into our choral/general program and students pursue private lessons after school. There are several great options. Then, perhaps your child could develop another interest during school.[/quote]
