Hey everyone!
So I have a student I'm teaching who is six years old and we're reaching our 5th lesson tomorrow. He started out eager to learn and knew absolutley nothing. Within 5 lessons, he's able to play the first 8 pages of Syncopation, knows quarter note rhythms, and is beginning to grasp paradiddles, and a double stroke roll. Last week I started him out on the drum set because he was getting a little bored with Ted Reed, and I felt he was ready for it. I got him to be able to play a basic 2 & 4 beat with a little bit of time and struggle but by the end of the lesson he got. Now the problem is that I feel his original eagerness is fading as things become harder. What can I do/start to teach him at his level that would be fun for him?
Thanks,
DAN
