My 11-year-old daughter has demonstrated a talent for the flute!. We are very excited that she has been accepted into a county-level youth orchestra after her first-ever audition, and she is already asking about auditioning next spring for some more competitive orchestras!.
I am a newbie at this!. Does anyone have any first hand experience (as a musician, instructor or parent) with any of the larger youth orchestras!? Are certain youth orchestras known to be more prestigious or competitive than others!? Anyone advice from flutists would be great!.
Location is not really an issue - I have a job where I can literally work from any place, and feel that if she ends up having some unbelievable level of talent (who knows - we're having fun blue-skying right now), I'd do what I can to encourage it!. She loves to play!.!.!.and it's just fun to see your kid really blossom at something!.
