Probably a weird post here. Just wondered how other people felt before and during their drum (or any music) lesson. I'm 47. I've been doing lessons for 3 years and I still feel nervous before I go in and quite often get really confused and a bit panicky during a lesson when I don't 'get' what my teacher is talking about. I've had 2 teachers. One 20 years younger. One ten years older. Both really nice guys and I think they're really good teachers. I never have to perform long/whole pieces of music if I don't want to. Both know I get anxious about stuff and don't unnecessarily pressure me. I know this is to do with my personal psyche and I'm working on my confidence in all areas of my life but I'm interested in what others feel during lessons. Maybe the ideal scenario I have in my head where one just breezes through every lesson, laughing all the way and feeling completely uninhibited, ready to do anything, is just totally unrealistic. (Do you reckon??)
Anyway, just asking. Because I don't know any other (adults) learning. Cheers.
