[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Asian daughter picked the violin. [b]She's the poster child of what not to be and what not to do, ha![/b] I jest ;-) Any non-solo instrument will be less competitive than the leading solo ones: violin, piano, cello, flute, clarinet. People don't choose instruments because they're "classy" (shudder - OP, please don't be that person!), but because they're portable and they've heard many concertos with the leading voice of that instrument. It inspires them, and it's practical from a daily use point of view. Few parents want to lug a full-size harp or double bass around, you know? Those don't fit into every car! Also, a few instruments are sometimes not recommended for beginners, like the oboe. Some teachers recommend starting on the clarinet, then moving to oboe. Same for contrabassoon or harmony clarinet. [/quote] Same! My DD is a soprano (voice) — as is everyone else.[/quote]
