tedmanzie Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Don't know if this is the right place for this but we are looking for a female drum tutor for our 10 year old daughter, so if you know of anyone please PM me their details! Thanks Ted P.S. Just to add this isn't anything to do with 'men' . My daughter is already drawn to female artists (Jessie J, Beyonce etc) so I wanted to continue that if possible by finding a fellow female who could inspire her to beat the living daylights out of a kit!

tedmanzie Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 I thought a female teacher would be good inspiration and quite fun for our daughter, but I'm not 100% set on it. I'll PM you chaps for your contacts, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 You will probably struggle to find one locally but there are drum female teachers across London. Lorraine Baker and Corrina Sylverster are both brilliant and were in London but have moved out Greenwich and Hertfordshire respectively. I don't know of any others. There is another angle on this, however. Can I ask why the need for a female teacher? I understand the issues on one level but wonder what messages you are sending? Most teachers now have criminal record checks to prove they have no convictions etc. It's pretty tragic if the working assumption is that male teachers are a potential threat when, statistically, this is highly improbable?

[/quote] Sorry, I really should have made this clear in my post , it isn't anything to do with 'men' or a parent paranoia thing! I know that most drummers are men (most musicians?) and I really wanted to [i]inspire[/i] my daughter with a fellow female who could beat the living daylights out of the kit and then have fun teaching her how to do the same! We have been watching Meg White videos, and Metronomy videos. My daughter is already drawn to female artists (Jessie J, Beyonce etc) so I wanted to continue that if possible.

Bilbo Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 No worries, mate. I have merged the two threads as I didn't see the longer one and missed your earlier explanation. Your points on why a female teacher are perfectly rational. Good luck with your search. Is Evelyn Glennie in London? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthaside Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) I know a great female bass teacher in Ham if she expresses any love for our instrument of choice , however through Rockshool @ who do stuff at airplaystudios in sunbury and tiffins in kingston ( [url="http://www.britishschoolofrock.co.uk/where-we-are/"]http://www.britishsc...k/where-we-are/[/url]) which might be a great way to expose her to some strong rock female role model's as they do from 8 to 18 I know they use [url="http://drummingteacher.net/tutor/kirsty-martin/"]http://drummingteach.../kirsty-martin/[/url] . Good luck and hopefully see you as a family unit in a few years in the grey horse or the moot house ;-) perhaps we should start a Kingston basschat splinter group synth Edited May 12, 2015 by synthaside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily Dolan Davies is featured in the two Darkness videos currently released on YouTube from the new album but has alas left the band for some undisclosed (but apparently mutually agreed and friendly) reason to be replaced by Rufus Taylor.

tedmanzie Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Good stuff, thanks synthaside - I often go to the Old Moot on tuesdays to watch Jon Bird's big band jazz, might see you there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synthaside Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I live mere seconds from the old moot , and since they added Sierra Nevada to the draft its hard to say no to live music and great beer. I'd be in there tomorrow if it wasn't the other half's birthday , we have dinner plans on the posher side of the river ;-) I've signed up my lot for the open Mic on a Thursday for a few week's we'll be crap but will hopefully have a laugh and it will help break the ice on new band jitters , you'll know us because of the singing drummer ;-) ( used to be the front man but only one who knew how) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybertect Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I played a 2.5 hour set at The Old Moot on Sunday evening. As for the Grey Horse, RIP as a music venue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedmanzie Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 I heard a rumour the Grey Horse is coming back as a venue, but is probably rubbish. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It would be nice if it were to carry on as a venue - though most of the rumours I hear contain the horrifying word "gastropub." Seems all the refugees from the Horse are drifting over to the Cavern in Raynes Park - went there myself last Sunday for the first time, not a bad little place!

synthaside Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) I was in there on Sunday evening with my guitarist lurking at the back As is our custom. Arrived mid set and left pretty much when the band was packing away some good as far as i could tell original's. I remember one called at the workhouse ?? I also remember we thought the harmonies that were being pulled off were very tidy indeed. some respectable chops from the lead but rhythm guitarist could probably turn up a touch. All in all very tight . However ... sunglasses indoors at night Is a sin even for a guitarist ;-) I actually think the moot house might try and take the crown from the grey horse , we have enough "dining experiences" in the greater Kingston area and while the stage/ performance area may be nowhere near as good as the grey horse. From a punter perspective i always thought the grey horse was a bit of a sh*te pub with a good venue attached to it.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The grey horse - always been a bit like the qpr defence IMHO , living more on reputation than giving proper support to the bands playing there . Regarding the female drum situation ; if you see. a band with a female drummer, you could ask if she teaches? apart from that and Facebook , I have no idea. Good luck with the search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedmanzie Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 I really liked the Grey Horse pub, was one of the few 'pubs' left in Kingston. The main 'support' for the bands as far as I know was that they could play for free and keep all the takings if they decided to charge. Anyway, thanks to this thread I have Sophie Alloway coming to give my daughter a lesson tomorrow eve. I have lots of other contacts too, female and male, who I may still contact so a massive THANK YOU to everyone who has been in touch.

watton_earth Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'm local. The wee ones school just sent out a details of a Kingston education service to find local music tuition. You just state age, instrument and they do the rest, I'll dig it out for you. Haven't been in either of those pubs for years....
