#BackToSchool #GearUp<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s back to school! Parents who are thinking about music lessons and an instrument for their child will receive tips about which first instrument to choose for an entry into music making.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the transition to a secondary school<\/strong>, the daily life of most students changes considerably. They encounter many changes and challenges<\/strong> and their leisure time (namely music-making time) is dwindling<\/strong>. To make matters worse, music subjects in many secondary schools<\/strong> have a shadowy existence and do not receive the appreciation they deserve<\/strong>. This makes it all the more important to give your child the opportunity to play extracurricular music<\/strong>, which soothes<\/strong>, in many ways, the growing pains<\/strong> of becoming a teenager<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It may now also be time to switch to “adult instruments<\/strong>” and thus to the sizes and designs<\/strong> that their own idols<\/strong> play – an exciting and new experience that electrifies and inspires. There may also be a place in the school orchestra or in the music school band and the student instruments played so far are simply not suitable for this purpose. The start in this new world is usually connected with a massive motivation boost and for parents it is important to use this opportunity. The instruments we have compiled here prove that the purchases do not require a huge budget<\/strong> at all…<\/p>\n

Drum Set<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If they start drumming now, a complete acoustic set<\/strong><\/a> like the Mapex TNM5044ZBL Tornado Studio<\/strong><\/a> with cymbal<\/strong> and drummer stool<\/strong> is more than adequate. Drums like these are suitable for every style, from heavy metal<\/strong> to big band jazz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Very important<\/strong><\/span>: never use without<\/strong> hearing protection<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n

Drums are noisy<\/strong>, and not very “neighbour-friendly”. For the rented apartment an electronic drum set<\/strong> would be worth considering. Our Millenium MPS-750 E-Drum Mesh Set<\/strong><\/a> consists of a snare pad, three toms, kick pad with pedal, hi-hat pad with controller, four cymbal pads and contains 20 preset kits<\/strong> and 456 different sounds<\/strong>. A comfortable drum stool<\/strong><\/a> is also available at a small price<\/strong>, just like a pair of good-sounding headphones<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
