Band Instrument
Is the violin a concert band or a band instrument?
I play the violin and i was wondering if it was a band instrument that I can play for concert band next school year (probably not) and watching the band there is no violin players. If not then what can I learn in a little less than a year that is a band instrument and of course I will get lessons asap. Thanks(:
Violins are never played in concert band. At least not as far as I have seen.. I recommend trumpet if you want to be in band. I play string instruments too, and trumpet is the only concert band instrument I play. It’s hard and tiring at first, but after a while you gain indurance. It also gets a lot of the main melodies, and is always heard, like the violin. Not to mention its an incredibly sexy and romantic instrument. (my bf plays
) Also, its in treble clef! and you wont need to learn any other clef. Of course, its up to you to decide what instrument you can see yourself playing. As a string player i always wanted to be in band in high school and now that I’m in college i get the opportunity to experience playing in a band, and it’s a lot of fun. You’ll get lessons, so that will make everything much easier. Good luck, and have fun
oh yeah, make sure not to neglect your violin. Symphony Orchestras are loads of fun
