Enjoy it - I'm sure you'll do more than fine.
Now, when are you starting a band?

This is where I find out how many bad habits I've taught myself.
Wish me luck.
Depends why you are having lessons. If its just a general "What am I doing wrong and how can I do it better" then possibly. If you are going to learn a new genre then probably not, unless you have a major and glaring fault.

Getting lessons in the beginning is always a good idea.
When it comes to hand technique, there are many ways to hold a stick and just be aware that certain have teachers very strong opinions about specific choices. I've received plenty contradictory information from most of my first teachers, all of whom were great players in their own right.
Depending on what is coverered and if you can afford it, I'd shop around a bit right from the get go, just to get a bit of perspective.
Well had a good first lesson and yes there were several comments on my grip. The tutor has shown me another way of holding the sticks but told me not to get hung up on it at this stage.
I've left with a number of basic sticking exercises and another lesson on the cards for next week.
