Meet Harmony, a bright-eyed 6th-grader with a passion for music. Her school announced that all students must enroll in a music elective, and excitement filled the air. Harmony was eager to join, but she faced a daunting musical decision: which instrument to choose?

Harmony's friend, Josh, quickly chose the trumpet, and the school band sounded amazing. Harmony's other friend, Natali, chose the violin and the school orchestra sounded amazing too.

Harmony decided to ask her parents for advice on what instrument was right for her. Harmony's parents were both musicians. Her mom played the piano, and her dad played the saxophone. They shared stories of their musical journeys, but encouraged Harmony to just follow her heart.

The next day, Harmony visited the school's band and orchestra rooms. In the band room, she watched the Woodwinds hit high notes. Rows of shiny instruments awaited her from tubas to flutes.

In the orchestra room, she gazed at the Strings creating rhythmic magic. Again a range of polished instruments awaited her from basses to violas. Harmony was overwhelmed.

As the day passed, Harmony decided to try different instruments after school. She tapped the valves of a french horn, strummed a guitar, and even tried her hand at the clarinet. Each instrument had its own unique charm, making her decision even harder.
