[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 194225, member: 53"] When my kids were tested for band instruments the only experience they had were "song flutes" that were literally just those plastic tubes with holes. My daughter had taken piano lessons, but that only helped in reading music...... The idea is to see if there is any interest so I think they don't really expect to find any prodigies.... If your son has asthma then maybe a woodwind instrument isn't what he would want. My daughter played flute and it required her to develop very controlled breathing.... but that might even help asthma....... My son played drums, but that requires you have a strong sense of rhythm ..... there are many other instruments in the percussion group that aren't drums......, but usually you can rent to "try" instruments before you buy and many used ones from former students...... give it a shot......they don't expect you to have experience in sixth grade........
