Baisically, around here, if you don't start playing brass at 6th grade, no one will teach you. Same with woodwind. You have to play piano at 4th grade to do percussion and you have to start strings in 5th grade. If not, no one wants you in their band or orchestra and you have to go to a different town for lessons. Almost all the music around here is based on the school band.
