Oh well ...
Yesterday when I called to get directions to the drum class I found out that there was no class because they have to practise for a competition in two weeks' time.
Last Wednesday when I'd called, I was told the same thing (that they had to practise). I began to wonder if I was wasting my time or if I should go elsewhere. I don't want to call every week and meet cancellations.
Anyway, the new plan is for Saturday afternoon. Then (they won't be practising) I will begin to learn "the language of the drum", proper technique, stretching and warming up for playing and a lesson plan will be drafted out based on "how fast" I can pick up what I'm being taught.
As Xavier says: "I does just dive into de rhythms one time."
