Sounds like your son has a leg up on many of us who learned lugging a sousaphone to and from school. That he has his own horn is great - now the real investment - private lessons. Your son needs to start wearing out that horn as soon as possible - practicing his scales, intervals, etc. Find a good brass instructor through the school program. The slide pulling, and mouthpiece mania will come in due time.
Good luck with the new axe!
