Question Posted Saturday April 9 2005, 2:11 pm

Ok so I use to play an instrumiment it was the fluet how ever you spell it. But i want to play drums or guitar my dad says no becasue I'll
quite like last time .The only thing i've tryed something and quite was the fluet which was like 3 to 4 years ago. I love the way drums, guitar and some other things sound when I grow up want to be some one who makes up beats. But he said i don't have a good enough reson. I listen to music 3 hours a day(screamo kind)my dad also said he doesnt want me playing drums and guitar cuz there loud . I told him if doesn't let me do anything how I'm I ,going to know what I like if he doesn't let me try. Can you guys give me a good reason that might change the way my dad thinks about drums and guitar?

You need to prove to them that this is something you intend to stick with for a while.

If you're truly serious about guitar, suggest getting an acoustic guitar as a compromise. It would be quieter and by playing it, show that you mean to stick with it.

As far as drums go... buy a pair of sticks and just play on a bucket, or a board, or something that you can keep quiet. And once more, prove that you really mean to stick with it.

And by "sticking with it" a week of playing is meaningless... you have to show dedication and determination - that means practicing for hours on a regular basis.

Otherwise, you're dad's comments to you are correct and well-founded.

i feel the same way with drums and my mom says the same thing and theres two answers to this...either proove to them that you can stay in activities that you like and or tell him that you can get a sound proof garage or room and maybe he'll allow it....

Sure. Make some money and buy them yourself. Those thing's do cost a lot of money and if you quit before...well, that was money down the drain.

I have a friend who plays guitar. He just goofs around with no amp when he wants to be quiet. So thats possible. You can get an acoustic one to start off with anyway.

My guy is a drummer. He drums on anything and everything. So, you could probably learn some drum tech. even without drums. So maybe if you got a start doing something like that dad might reconsider. I'd start saving though. That too will let him know you are serious. Good luck.

ok number one: get a dictionary. but anyways, just tell him thats it's what you want to do in life. say that you will play it when you get older anyway, so he would just be giving you a head start on your life if he would let you. if he doesnt let you, save up your money to get a guitar or drum set and buy one. if you dont have money, you could just make a drum set some how, like out of containers and boxes and try to play them. check out books about guitar and drums and read them and leave them around so he will see them and see that you are serious about this.

Say that it's your <strong>true</strong> passion and that'd you really like to pick it up and learn some beats and rhythms. Ask him to let you try it, and see what you think. Tell him you'll be honest and tell him your honest opinion about it. IE:: If you truely like it and want to continue, don't really like it and wish to stop, things like that. Try to convince him that you have drive and determination and wont quit because this is something you love. Don't be too pushy because I know with dads that they don't like to be TOLD to do something, they like to make a desicion on their own. Good luck and I hope you get what your wanting! &hearts;
