My kid's in 6th grade band at her school and plays the clarinet. She started "band" in 4th grade with a recorder, then went to the clarinet in 5th grade. Her grandpa, my dad, bought her a subscription to an internet program called SmartMusic that helps her with her work at home. Most kids have to be forced to practice and "forget" to take their instruments home. Mine begged us to go to the school during the holidays so she could practice.So, she went with the band to a local competition. It was a private judging, so it was just her in the room with the judges. They grade on a scale of 1 -4 with 1 being the best and 4 needs work. LAST year, she got a 2. That's with only a semester of clarinet practice. THIS year, she go a 1!!!!. She rocks!!!!
She loves band and is planning to use that for scholarship opportunities for college. You go girl!
