[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is interesting that there seems to be such a focus on violin over other instruments. I am not a music person but as an outsider I don't understand why. My kid chose a difficult brass instrument and I think it worked out really well for him. Not a lot of kids play it so the orchestras are happy he is trying out and they are looking for a reason to take him (vs looking for a reason to reject him because they have so many kids playing his instrument). [/quote] All the lower level orchestras are strings only, of which, violin is the dominant instrument (in sheer numbers). Usually, by the time kids are old/skilled enough to be playing in full orchestras, all the petty nonsense is behind them.[/quote] if you pick a less common instrument you can avoid a lot of it altogether. [/quote] I’m always happy my kid plays the viola. Viola players and parents are much chiller.[/quote]
