Music should be fun, but it can also help your kid's future:
All of the subjects I teach can overlap with a lot of other important music skills and may provide great college opportunities.
Violin and Viola are very similar in technique and both be picked up simultaneously. Viola players are always needed, especially at Universities, and competetion is relatively low!
Clarinet and Saxophone are very similar instruments and can also be learned simultaneously. They both build incredible basic music skills, and also have definite places in college orchestras.
Students can gain significant scholarships or get paid for playing in orchestras with the skills they learn, which makes them all great choices for kids considering college.
