Too bad you don’t live on the east coast, Midwest mom. I happen to be a world famous didgeridoo player. For a reasonable consulting fee, I would have taken on your son as a student & guided him through the college application process. My premium service also teaches clap sticks and will help your son design an Intel project on the sound waves produced by these instruments. My deluxe service includes a cultural/humanitarian mission to Australia where he would build homes for the indigenous people by day and perfect his didgeridoo technique by night.

Sadly your son’s choice of piano and trumpet are just so Western, so parochial.
