So, long story short: I've been a musician for pretty much all my life. After a massive hearing loss, I picked up drums about a year ago and I've had so many great teachers myself. Now the local music school asked me if I could teach drums to their kids. They lost their former teacher due to old age.
I have rarely dealt with children. Sure, I was a tutor for some when it comes down to languages, but teaching music? That is so new to me and I'm actually afraid.
I am all gauntles right now negotiating the deal here:
I want espescially girls to learn a new intrument. They must be bored out of themselves just playing the flute, organ and piano.
So, my approach is probably this:

Any hints or tips you can give me? Please?
I'm a 38 years old lesbian with basically no clue whatsoever when it comes down to dealing with kids... ^^
EDIT: I'm afraid the girls want me to play pop music on the drums, and I get easily bored by that.
Watch one of my drumming teachers.

I am so in awe of what you wrote. I want to ignite that spark in children, and I know it's a private school, so there's that, at least. All the kids are there because they want to learn music, not being dragged there or anything.
