My kids are homeschooled. I think that there were definitely some disadvantages to that when it came to music (fewer opportunities early on equaled a later start for my music kids), but by the time they got to high school it was mostly helpful. They could only play in selective, auditioned ensembles, so they pretty much never had the experience of being the best ones in the room. They always had to work hard and practice a lot to keep up.
