Lately, I've been discussing my long term goals and visions as a drummer/musician with my wife. She just answered "why not?". What's it about? I'm gonna reveal mine sometime this month after I finish the draft. Meanwhile may I know what's yours?
To start off:10 years from now I'm gonna be...
Ok guys, thank you for sharing your thoughts and goals. I think it's about time to reveal out mine after sorting out my own thoughts about this topic.
Nagsimula ito 4-5 years agonung may tinuruan akong bata from an orphanage from PQUE na magdrums. His name is Oliver. He's the beneficiary of one of the RICHEST families in Makati. He's so really willing to learn that he has to travel from Pque to Sta. Mesa twice a week para lang maglessons at practice with me. Na-touch din ako sa bata dahil sa storya ng buhay nya. Higit sa lahat desidido talaga mag drums. Sya na ang last student ko na "bayad" ang lessons.
Anyway, I've already sought answers as to what would I love to do in ten years. I'm gonna start a drum/percussion school! But this would be a non formal/curriculum school. And most of all MY SCHOOL WOULD BE FREE for the less fortunate kabataan natin dyan sa Pilipinas. I'm planning to have a small area of my future house in Cainta dedicated for this purpose. I'm gonna finance this project personally but would be glad to have some sponsors too. Medyo madami na rin kasi akong nakita, natrain, na-coach na young aspiring musicians that simply can't afford the instrument(not even sticks!) pero sobrang talented at potential. My future school will not be designed/built up to compete with other "BIG" music/drum schools but I'll try my best to give the greatest music training to those who can't afford it. My main focus for this school will be discipline, freedom, creativity and appreciation.
Of course I've got some personal plans too like having a baby next year! Hopefully maging successful. Wish me luck guys and gals! :)
I don't know if I'm gonna be able to pursue this in 10 years but I'm gonna give it all I've got. Maybe I could use some help and support from you guys in 10 years? Maybe not financially but at least some moral? :)
Lemme know what you think guys... I'll be taking donations of both cash, cheque and used drumming equipment in 10 years. (Just kidding but I won't mind!) Thank you!
