I always hoped that once they left they wouldn't give up music but change to an instrument to which they were more suited. I've always wondered why it has to be all strings at those Saturday morning classes, Cyrilla... Is it simply because it's for young children who aren't physically ready for wind or brass? Yes, I think this is the reason - although of course there are other instruments that could be started at 6. They are pretty insistent that it's bowed strings, too - there are very few places for guitar and harp. Of course a lot of the children DO learn other instruments privately as well.
