I have two home schooled students that participate in my band program. They come to school daily and rehearse with the band and they also come once a week in addition for small group sectionals.

The ensemble playing would definately be a plus if not a necessity for a young student.

It is my understanding that they got this approved by the building principal and then probably the school board. However, they are on my class roster and I give them a grade each quarter.

And no, the tuba is not limited to being played in band rehearsal. It has the same musical capabilities of any other instrument. It is just lower pitched.

I hope this helps,
