[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious: is the experience different for string players vs. wind/brass? My kid plays a brass instrument, and over the years I’ve noticed far fewer Asian musicians in the school “band” ensembles than in the “orchestras.”

They’re now playing in a non-MCYO symphonic (combined) orchestra, and I still notice the preponderance of Asian strings players over other instruments. I wonder if that could account for the differing experiences with MCYO? [b]The early seriousness of the Suzuki method is appealing to families who really value serious musical education, but there’s not really anything comparable for, say, aspiring 6yo French horn players.[/b] [/quote]

I think you make a good point here. As for the different experiences, I think when people are quite serious about anything, be it strings, or theatre, or sports, there are going to be some people who are really jealous or competitive in a bad way. On the whole though, we have had a good experience in the strings community, and my daughter is one of these Asian kids who started young.[/quote]
