Hey dads, here's a drumming update from my plate :) in c/[email protected]

Queen is such a great band, actually my first CD I ever bought as a child was "A kind of magic". :)

Unfortunately, I can't call my mother, she's a religious nutcase who still can't get over the fact that one of their children is LGBT... :(

I hope the kids are getting a kick out of my drumming, I've learnt so much from my dear late friend Wayne, who was a multi-instrumentalist, pretty much wrote all of his records himself. I miss him every day. Back when I was a little child, I snuck out from home, took a train about 150 km away, just to see his band performing live. He was sort of bamboozled by the fact that there was a little unattended child screaming their lungs out front row. Pulled me up on stage to be "safe" and yeah, that's how we became friends back in the day. We stayed friends until he passed away 11 years ago and I'm still not over it. I miss him dearly, every single day. He would've thought it's insane that I picked up drumming after my massive hearing loss on stage. Yeah, I can still drum and I'm kind of good at it. ^^

But enough with the sob story, let's hear him and his live band! throws drum sticks up the air

I've got no earthly clue on who of your very wholesome community read my previous post here, but anyways, here's some amazing news:

Yes, I agreed to be a drum teacher substitute for the one teacher who unfortunately passed away recently due to old age.

Why did I hesitate so much? Because I'm transgender, it would mean that some peeps realising I grew up in that small town area, but I don't give two shits anymore. My boyfriend, he's transgender as well, and we share a deep love for music.

Also fighting with my gauntlets on, I got all my wishes cared for. There's an open door policy with me. The door is never closed and there will always be at least two parents present. I won't have to deal with any accusations from anyone.

All I want to do is teaching drums - because I'm sort of good at it. I love music!

This video recently warmed up my heart - I want to be a cool teacher (and the teacher was the English teacher, not the music teacher, lol.)

For myself - I aspire to bring along this great message from a band I really love:

Can I hit the drums hard to any song? Yes. :)

Do I want any child to be able to express themselves? Oh heck yes.

Any feedback welcome, and thank you again, all of you lovely Dads for coping with my original post!

I am not starting to teach drums until August, because it's just too warm over here with the weather at the moment, but come August, let's bang the hell out of those drum kits! ^^

Everybody feel hugged here!

Yours MJ

This is such a good advice, thank you. I drum a lot in my free time and I'm always like: "Oh yeah, this song is actually based on another song. :D

Hello dads, I copy+pasted this question from your sister community.

So, long story short: I’ve been a musician for pretty much all my life. After a massive hearing loss, I picked up drums about a year ago and I’ve had so many great teachers myself. Now the local music school asked me if I could teach drums to their kids. They lost their former teacher due to old age.

I have rarely dealt with children. Sure, I was a tutor for some when it comes down to languages, but teaching music? That is so new to me and I’m actually afraid.

I am all gauntlets right now negotiating the deal here: I want espescially girls to learn a new intrument. They must be bored out of themselves just playing the flute, organ and piano.

So, my approach is probably this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL5oBbriJuQ

:D

Any hints or tips you can give me? Please?

I’m a 38 years old lesbian with basically no clue whatsoever when it comes down to dealing with kids… ^^

EDIT: I’m afraid the girls want me to play pop music on the drums, and I get easily bored by that.

Watch one of my drumming teachers.
