A.Leigh 2 months agoDrums are tomboyish? I would’ve gone with something like trombone or tuba. At my school flute and clarinet were mostly girls, low brass and tenor sax was mostly boys, and alto sax, trumpet, and percussion were pretty gender neutral (we didn’t have string instruments). For those who took lessons outside school, piano and guitar were both gender neutral as well. Though oddly enough, in high school, only girls played bari sax (which, for non-musicians, is even bigger and lower-sounding than tenor).

I don’t know about violin (my school didn’t have a string section), but most boys who play flute will get mercilessly teased for it. Of course, most professional flute players* are male, so go figure. *I’m used to hearing them called flautists, but apparently some people feel that’s too pretentious, so to avoid any nonsense over terminology, I’m avoiding it entirely.

It’s like looking in a mirror - specifically regarding the hair care, or lack thereof.
