My dd is going into juniors in September and her school are offering group music lessons.
They were given a choice of flute, brass, violin, drums, or keyboard.
She has chosen violin, based on a music workshop I took her to last year in which she saw a string quartet play and was able to 'have a go' on one for a couple of minutes!
I'm slightly thinking we may well be paying or a year's worth of lessons only to hear a LOT of screeching and scraping - before she gets bored of not being able to get a decent sound out, and gives up. It's my own fault for taking her to that workshop - didn't think ahead, to what if she might actually in inspired to learn...
Whereas say with flute or keyboard, you can get a decent tune fairly quickly.
But it's her choice - so violin it is. Please tell me it'll be OK!!
