It's autumn term already! I'm sure there's lots of music going to happen this term. Welcome to anyone who wants to chat about your child's music activities, whether current or things you hope to do. It's a friendly group with experience at many different levels.( I've learned so much) No question is a daft one and don't be put off by chat about higher levels, all our children couldn't play a note once.
Come and ask about starting music lessons, which instrument to choose, exams, music festivals, specialist schools, orchestras and ensembles. We love talking music.
We also love to share music exam successes or struggles etc ( you can't always shout about these on FB!).
Feel free to do a wee intro if you want, although it's still public so only share what you want to.

On small violins, i had a few points going through where i thought ugh, this violin or bow just isn't up to what we're asking DD to do with it. Then teacher would pick it up and make it sound brilliant... So if in doubt, ask teacher to play it to show what it can do! Strings might well be worth upgrading if he's doing a lot of playing, depending on what is on it and how old they are.
Teapotkitten, please let us know if you find out re MuseScore. DD was trying a bit of arranging, i think she video-ed the laptop with her phone to show her friends but there must be a better way!
