You COULD invite all those musicians to your house or church or temple :) or 
rec center!  We have a Co op  which has  PE, chorus ,a chess club and more.   
we get together have games (even against those public schools)  Put on plays, 
shows, tournaments etc.  We have a year book, talent show, dances and  even 
graduation ceremonies .

I am curious if any of the little wizards and witches do not go to formal 
school  Is there any evidence that all must go to a formal school at eleven?
