Worth of ORCHESTRA?

<p>HI does taking orchestra class help going to a good college??????</p>

<p>i don't like playing violin and am not good at it either</p>

<p>i just love playing piano!!!</p>

<p>Should I take it to go to a good college?</p>

<p>i mean, can't i just cover it up by sport activities?</p>

<p>(i am gonna be in cross country, science olympiad, key club, volunteering works, tennis,and will take private writing and piano lessons!)</p>

<p>If you really don't like violin, don't continue to take it.</p>

<p>I can't see being a violinist making/breaking your admission to any school (besides a music school).</p>

<p>If you show dedication to your other ec's, you'll be fine.</p>

<p>Skip it and continue with piano.</p>

<p>If you are just going to use it as a "filler EC," don't go for it. I think getting VERY good at one instrument > mediocre at two.</p>

<p>BTW, I have two Korean friends called Doh-Young and another called Yoh-Kyung. It was just very interesting to see the correlation between those names and your's. =)</p>

<p>Orchestra class won't help you out. Your other ECs are already better than plain old orchestra, and you're not planning on making a district or state-level orchestra, so stick with what you're doing.</p>
