[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is in an orchestra that is mainly kids 3-4 years older and it is not ideal in that he is pretty lonely and it is not social for him at all. I get why they put the advanced musicians together, but it definitely has its downsides too.[/quote] Mine has been the youngest/one of the youngest in her orchestra for several years now, but also is a high chair. The reception has been very positive, with the HS kids calling her and treating her as a prodigy (she’s not). I think the experience largely depends on other members of the orchestra. Last year, her stand partner was a HS senior who was friendly and treated her as her musical equal. This year her stand partner is a Junior who keeps to herself and acts as if DD doesn’t exist. Although the age gap was larger, she had a more fun time last year than this year. She would still not play in a lower orchestra though; she enjoys the music she’s playing currently. [/quote]
