[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing I don't think people think about is when they get to middle school, kids who play very popular instruments (see trumpet and saxophone) may get asked to switch instruments. My kid had to switch to the french horn from the trumpet. My advice is pick a less common instrument than either of these two, but particularly less popular than the trumpet if your kid is the type who would balk at switching.[/quote] Interesting to know! So which are the less popular woodwinds instruments? My DC's school I heard a lot of children wanted to do Flute, so I did not realize that Saxophone is very popular too. [/quote] I think less obvious ones overall are piccolo, oboe, bassoon, french horn, trombone, tuba, etc. All these kids get to middle school pretty much playing the same handful of instruments (clarinet, flute, trumpet, sax, percussion) and obviously that does not make a band.[/quote]
