all the schools around us have bands that are way ahead of ours. we are in book 1 while the other schools are in book two. i feel stupid when i hear my friends(from other schools)play their instruments. is being way behind a good reason to feel stupid? or should i not feel stupid that some of the grade six students are at the same level as i am(i'm in grade 7). i feel really stupid!!!!!!

Well some people learn faster than others. I(trumpet) and a friend of mine(alto sax) are in the intermediate to advanced book. while my friends in the flute section are still in the beginners book. we all started at the same time, but some just learn a little faster. so don't worry if u feel behind. its all in good musicianship.

Teachers have different methods. I tend to get ahead of others teachers because I skip things. Some teachers play each and every line several times. I don't. I'm sure your teacher is doing the best for you in their style.

At least you're still young and in school. Those of us older folks just learning music or an instrument are 30 or more years behind. Keep in mind that if you do your best you will do just fine, and there is always someone who has a harder time than you, and you may be able to help that person catch up. This in turn if kept in the right perspective, will make you feel better about yourself. Stick with it and you'll be amazed at the results!

On average a 7th grade student is 12 or 13 depending on there birthday. When your birthday is after september then you will be 13 when you start 7th grade.

Bandido? You ride a Harley, and you're in 7th grade..?
Same as here, then, execpt Grade is called Year, here, and the kids I teach are Years 7, 8 9 and 10, ... year 7 is always the toughest.A school which has both primary (aka elementry?)and high school is called K-12, for Kindergarten to Year 12.
