My DD plays the piano (grade 3-4 level) and sings (grade 4). She wants to learn an orchestral instrument to join the orchestra when she moves to senior school (will be going into year 5 next month).
She is reasonably musical, but as the piano already requires quite a lot of practice it would be good if the new instrument would be easy at least to start with. Although flute and clarinet would be ideal, they are quite popular so competition for orchestra places would be fierce.
So is there a relatively easy and not very popular instrument out there for her? I should also add that she is very petite and likely to remain so.
