No private school would allow a purple violin in a classical ensemble. You should be applauding a school district that has some principles.
Classical ensembles are about blending in and letting the music speak. They are very conservative in terms of appearance, and that is the professional standard..
If you’re doing pops, rock, etc, it’s a different matter.
“No private school would allow a purple violin in a classical ensemble. You should be applauding a school district that has some principles.”
Orchestras do NOT have instruments that all perfectly match in color, etc, even given the same type of instrument.
Conformity for the sake of conformity is inappropriate.
