Role in episode[]
Squidward is sentenced to the class for playing his clarinet badly. He finds it humiliating, moreso when SpongeBob ends up sitting next to him. Many of the students are inexperienced at music, but SpongeBob surprises the class with his talented nose flute playing. SpongeBob, Nelly, Otto and Fergus start an impromptu jam session, angering Squidward, who’s unable to pick up any instrument he tries.
Eventually, Squidward takes back his clarinet and plays a giant music tornado that destroys the roof of the school. After he’s stopped by the music police, he discovers his talent for nose trumpet playing. His teacher declares him to be the most improved student.
