Hello teachers,

I am astonished by the fact that you (USA).... give the beginners reeds
with pretty heavy strength, i.e.: Vandoren #3 or higher. Here, in Europe
....... a lot of us begin with giving the kids (9 years old) #1,5 or #2!
What a difference!

Hi Jeroen:

Not everyone here in the US does. I'm with you, and also use the softer
reeds to start beginners.
