I have an 8 old DD who is keen to advance from recorder.
We live in a fairly remote location with a small school and there is only 1 child , a clariner playerwho learns through the county music service. So we naturally thought woodwind would be the way tio go.But he told her he wouldn't be able to teach her unless she got together a group of 4 woodwind beginners.The other girl being too advanced to share a class with DD.I am pretty annoyed about this because it must be more cost effective to drive out to our village to teach 2X20 minute sessions than 1 -and I will be pursuing that argument .But in the meantime we have a woodwing teacher who is a neighbour.hE has said her hands are too small for the saxophome which is what she wants to do (but only since we went to see a jazz saxophonist play recently ,before that she wanted to play flute.
However I have had a browse on the net and found that there are alto-sax's adapted for younger children .
I am not really sure what is teh best course of action.She is small for 8 and very slight.
Any advice welcome !
