So, basically I have been considering sending ds1 (7) to music lessons. Having had a bit of a think, I thought maybe drums was the way to go. So I Googled local teachers and came across one who stated on the website that they taught my sons age group. Simple email exchange where I asked about prices, availability and we were invited for a trial lesson.
So we went, and the guy basically spent the entire lesson telling me how unsuitable my sons age group were for lessons. That he only does the trials in case the child is a drumming prodigy etc etc. He taught my son a basic rythm, but it was so boring, he didn't attempt to make it fun or interesting or even share his passion for music. He basically spent the entire time telling me how pointless it was to teach my child's age group, as we left the guy said 'I've got another child coming in a minute, I expect it will be the same thing again.'
Now I'm not expecting my child to be the next superstar, but I wanted him to learn and have fun. Music is important, and I wanted him to have the opportunity to play something, even if it's just for fun (my son did manage to get the rythm right a few times).
Argh, I'm so angry at this guy, he basically wasted my time, money and precious little energy.
Why on earth did he even bother inviting us along? I've come out the other end of the lesson feeling totally perplexed.
I want to send an email expressing as such, but should I even bother.
