Today I got a new student, a 6 year old boy. He is left handed when it comes to writing, but his dad (who sat in on the lesson) says that he will use his right hand for a lot of other things. Apparently he plays golf and plays right handed. So I made the decision to just teach him how to play right handed. I told his dad that this will make him a stronger drummer if he's used to using both sides. He may not be as "left side weak" as a lot of drummers are.
But in the back of my head I wonder if that's the best way to go about it. I think on the kit he might not have a problem, but when we were doing exercises (started with quarter notes) he was leading with his left a lot.
In advice on how I should approach this?
