You know

... a lot of times we suggest piano to start out with, because once you can learn how to read music as a piano player, then you can play any of the other instruments.

Um, but it really comes down to, like, if they're excited about trumpet or trombone, like, they're gonna wanna play that.

So just the other day, a parent called and said that her ti- kid got switched to baritone, but she wants to be a drummer, but the school doesn't wanna let them be a drummer.

Like, well, that's sad for them, because they're not gonna put that effort into wanting doing it, wanting to do it.

Then, like, they're never gonna be a drummer, because you're forcing them to do that rather than what they wanna do.

Um, and again, I think that the band, it's tough for the first few years too, because you're learning how to play your instrument.

... are there competitors in the area? Are there competitors in big-box stores? Like, w- what is your biggest competition here to stop parents from going there?
