The Benefits Of Learning To Drum
Playing the drums is a hobby that is becoming very popular
. If you are the mother of a child that wants to play the drums you may be wary, but you should not fear.
For many mothers there are a lot of worries that come with their child's request to start playing the drums. The first worry of many mothers is the amount of noise that will come with the child's practice sessions.
Especially in the beginning when the coordination has yet to set in and the instrument will sound less like your child playing an instrument and more like them turning the pots and pans over on the kitchen floor and banging on them.
Being worried about the noise is a very valid concern. There are different precautions you can take to make sure that you keep your sanity and your neighbors do not report you for violating a noise ordinance.
First, designate practice times with your child. If you know when they are going to be practicing you can make sure that you do not plan on doing anything that requires quiet during those hours.
Although, at times, this may be inconvenient for you it is important that you respect your child's practice hours. Your child should also be practicing consistently.
If your child is not practicing consistently he or she will never be able to greatly improve. You should make sure that they keep up on their practicing even when you may not be in the mood to hear it.
Second, you should make sure that his or her drum set is set up in an area that is conducive with how your home is set up. If you have a spare room that is far from the rest of the rooms it would be idea.
If you have a basement in your home it would be nice to find a place for your child to practice downstairs. For many people, these are just not plausible options.
If neither of these options work for you, you can always set up your child's drum set in his or her room. This way when they are practicing they can just close their door and have their own private space.
Third, you can make sure that the sound is as muffled as it can possibly be. There are different techniques that can help you muffle the sounds of his drums.
Some of these techniques include actually muting the drums. When you go to buy the drum set make sure you ask the salesperson about these methods.
Besides those methods you can also take the time to put towels under the door or the room he is practicing in. This may help trap the sound in the room.
Fourth, you should make sure that your child practices with the windows closed. You do not want your child's drum lessons to put a strain on your relationships with your neighbors.
After you have dealt with your worry about the sound you may be worried about the culture and the lifestyle that come a long with drumming. For many moms' it is easy to picture a drummer as grimy, obstinate, and socially deviant.
If this is the picture that you have of drummers, you should take the time to broaden your views. There are many drummers that do not conform to that stereotype.
All types of music require drummers and not all styles of drumming are even loud. There are drummers for jazz bands that drum just to make sure everyone can stay on beat.
There are also drummers in Christian rock bands. These drummer help promote the Christian ideals that they believe in.
There are a wide variety of drummers. You may want to monitor your child if they ever choose to play in a band to make sure that their music is acceptable.
With enough parental moderating you can make sure that your child stays away from the bad influences that can be present in the band scene. You do not want your child to want to pursue that path in life.
Drumming can be very beneficial for the development of your child's brain. Because drumming uses both hands and both feet your child will be using both sides of his or her brain.
The development of the brain in this way is something that will prove to be invaluable to your child later on in life. Your child will not only be able to have fun developing a hobby but will also be developing their mind.
