A wonderful way to encourage your child to learn more about their instrument and hear it played by professionals is to take advantage of the reduced prices for tickets to concerts of area orchestras. Your child’s teacher will quite often have comp (free) tickets to the orchestra’s they perform in as well. High school musicals are happening now – take advantage of high quality, inexpensive productions!
