There are people who offer private lessons for all sorts of instruments- you can usually get their names from the stores in your area that sell musical instruments. My children are homeschooled, and we use a program from Hal Leonard called Essential Elements 2000. It comes with a CD to play the music, and with the aid of a microphone you can record your practice sessions. The program will then give you an analysis of your playing and show you where you made errors. There are books available for all of the band instruments, and three books in each instrument series so you can continue to improve your playing. My children also get help from a gentleman living in our apartment complex who plays trumpet in the local orchestra, once a week. Between his assistance and this program, three children have learned to play trumpet and one plays a clarinet. The books cost under $10 and are even available for sale on the Internet from multiple sources. Just because you homeschool doesn't mean giving up your instrument. It might also be possible in your school district for you to continue to participate in the school band program. You just need to check it out. Failing that- see if there is a community band, most of the folks there will very gladly help you out, and you might even end up joining them.

Many public schools do allow home school children to participate in extra curricular programs. Check with your school. If not try to advertise for a tutor or ask your music teacher if he/she knows of anyone. Also check with local churches, someone there may be a tutor or can be a tutor. Home schooling is wonderful, please give your mom a chance and keep an open mind to have a great year.

Many school districts are required to allow home-schooled students in the district to participate in extra curricular activities like band, choir, and athletics. I would look into this first. You may be able to continue to participate in your local school band. Have your parents talk to the school about this possibility. After all, your parents are still paying a full school tax even though they have relieved the state of the responsibility of your education. This would be a mutual benifit to you and your school band. Many schools recognize this and are cooperative. If this doesn't work out, join a community orchestra. There are lots of sources for music training outside of a traditional school, many of them will allow you to advance more quickly than what you're doing now. Good Luck

Ask around! There is bound to be someone that will give you home lessons. In Oregon we have a local home-school band and choir. They teach all instruments. I'm sure that other places have similar options.

Are there local colleges or highschools or music schools in your area? That is how you would get that done. Many times the teacher is willing to go to your house instead of you driving there.

Why not find a local music tutor?
