Willie, 28
... and today I found this drawing. 40 years ago (note the walkman) it was part of a poster announcing my very first guitar workshop for primary school kids.
Love the perspective of that guitar in the foreground!
Not a drawing, not even a guitar, but the wooden figures are playing stringed and brass instruments as I do. My beloved wife found this old mirror at the flea market:
In 3rd grade in our primary school (https://schule-bahrenfelder-strasse.hamburg.de/), all children learn to play a musical instrument. Last week they were taught how to treat the instruments, and how to put and stow them in their cases and bags. Yesterday they were allowed to take them home!
All the following artists are 9 years old.
Julius
Guitar.
Pekka
Presenting his cello and case.
Emilia
Guitar and music stand.
Malte
Presenting his tenor horn.
Salim
Two six-string-violins.
Osman
The blue guitar and the brown saz.
Paul
Cello and case.
Toni
Presenting her djembe.
Yael
Playing her saxophone.
Lia Su
Playing her keyboard.
Laila
Presenting her violin and music stand.
Freja
Playing her guitar by notes.
Ida
Wind band.
Yuno
Making music with friends.
Tiago
Guitar.
Tiago didn't manage to finish his drawing with the other children of his class - but I think, it was worth waiting for this fine guitar.
What is most fascinating for me this time is the obvious pride, happiness and joy that the children express in their drawings, as they finally received their instruments. DurIng the few weeks since school had started after the holidays, my collegues and I were asked a hundred times "When do we get our instruments?"
Thank you for keeping these up, Willie.
Thanks for your appreciation, Buco!

(The drum is the tiny object on the right side. The big drawing on the left side is a bit off topic: batman and his nasal secretions. No kidding, I asked Emran, because I did not realize what he had drawn.)

The phantom pencil drawing is showing me telling the class "Now we are forming a circle!" to sing or play something together.
