We understand this is a big step in your child's life. Please take TIME to make this decision.
Students entering 3rd-6th grade can choose an orchestra instrument, and students entering 4th-6th grade can choose a band instrument.
Discuss their interests with them. What do they like about the instrument?
What preferences do they have? Do they like the higher sounds or the lower sounds?
This is a lifelong pursuit! This can be something they do for the rest of their lives!
Encourage your child to do their research. Using websites like YouTube are VERY helpful when choosing an instrument!
