QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ May 21 2011, 06:30 PM)  Wow. That's really sad. Music actually helps the brain and aids in all forms of learning. Any time spend "drumming" etc., would actually probably help his other studies. But I"ve run in to this type of thing before with students of my own in the past. I've had some students parents only want them to play for 30 min a day max while the student wanted to play non stop. I can understand the parents concerns of course but as was mentioned in another recent forum post. It's all about BALANCE. A young mind has enough room studies and music. One feeds the other. To kill off a childs ability to play an instrument is actually an very cruel thing. It robs the child of a method of learning that he/she is motivated for. It can actually retard the child's mental growth. Sounds like a recipe for early teenage rebellion.  I agree. Music in the end helps you think better in different situations. -------------------- Visit my:

Sorry to hear that. Although I understand that a drum set may be something that this family cannot afford, and that he wouldn't have a place to practice, there are drum workshops in studios, where you need only pair of drumsticks and a pad. This is how drums are learned in the beginning anyway, one must first learn proper technique of hitting with a stick and finding correct balance, which is VERY tricky. So, it sounds more like a prejudice to me.
My mom was supportive when I was playing guitar always, so I think that this is normal. In fact, come to think of it, she showed me first two chords, Am and C major, Am was "sad", and C major was "happy", I'll never forget

My parents where the same when I was younger.
 I can read minds... Kid: Listen to loud music, cool I want a guitar and drum set! Parents: Dang kids and their toys, it will just be loud racket, just a expensive faze he'll get bored of a week later. Kid: Ahh man, ummm, find something louder and more annoying then to do. Get's out the pots and pans. p.s. Parent's should learn to support their kids... else we will just annoy you more! --------------------  Play Games Arcade Take a break, Play Games!

It's sad that they don't support his love for music. But I'm sure that if he really wishes to become a drummer, he will eventually do it, no matter what
