DD (10) has tried several instruments, and has decided that she wants to learn the baritone horn.
I don't much mind what she learns, as long as she's willing to practise - but I know nothing about the baritone horn. I don't even know if it can be played in an orchestra... Would she be better off learning the euphonium (she's tall and sturdy, so could probably manage it size-wise)?
We are a family of musicians and had thought that the musical gene had bypassed this particular child - but none of us plays anything brassy. She seems to have chosen the baritone horn because she is drawn to noisy instruments (being a noisy child herself).
The French horn is a definite no, as her pitch isn't great.
She isn't likely to become a brilliant player, whatever she chooses - but it would be nice if she could get some fun out of playing in the school and local orchestras. Does anyone have any advice?
