"Fine if they have the chops for it, but if they don't then they'll only struggle."

Haven't yet had one that couldn't play a 2.5, in nine years of teaching, from seven year olds to eleven year olds (eleven is the standard beginning age in this area).

Doing so requires that they immediately use wind to play, and (if I have them from the start) allows their embouchure to develop quickly.

When I run across one that can't, I'll have them move down!
