Our First Drum Lesson!
Our First Drum Lesson!
So far the only thing my 6 year old, Kaleb, has expressed any interest in to the point of being willing to take lessons is Drums!
We've tried to talk him into taking Karate lessons and numerous other things, but he'd just rather stay at home and play Age of Mythology and Command and Conquer Red Alert, Red Alert 2, and Yuri's Revenge! He knows more about how to play the games than I do!
So, anyway, we went into the closest local drum store one Saturday afternoon, DrumWorld, and had every intention of buying a drum set. The store manager basically said not to buy one yet, instead, sign up for lessons. So we did!
We had our first drum lesson last night! Whew! We're going to need a lot of practice! Just to get the coordination down! Trying to do the simple beats will take some practice because one hand always seems to want to play when it shouldn't!
Our instructor Jeffrey Jones, also teaches at John Michael's Music in Muskogee, OK. He's currently in the band 351 Windsor.
