[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP and related question. I have a 10 year old. She'll be in 6th next year. We weren't in town last August to try for MCYO. She is in book 3/4 suzuki.

I'd guess she's not at the level of play of mcyo chamber orchestra to be accepted but she's far better than the rest of the kids in her school orchestra. She practices 30-60 mins a day. We belong to a church orchestra nearby but it's not that serious either. She's bored in both orchestras with the level of play.

Is there another orchestra that you all would recommend? This is for a kid who likes playing with other people, seems to enjoy the camaraderie with the orchestra kids, but has no plans to do it in college or afterwards or anything.  I doubt I could increase her time commitment towards it either (she has other hobbies and sports that she likes and wants to spend time in). Also, I don't think she'd opt for anything competitive or high pressure (just not her personality). We are in MoCo. [/quote]

PVYO has a lot of slots for strings. My kid plays is a brass player, so I can’t speak to the level of competitiveness among the strings, but in general it’s a well-run orchestra with less competition and pressure than MCYO. The spring concert in the Strathmore concert hall is a great experience. [/quote]
