School of roCK! Violins and flutes are all very well, but a great way to engage a wider swathe of young people with music is to allow them to play the style they most identify with
An interview with siMpLy GLEB Claremont Senior School what better way to appeal to teenagers than give them the freedom to express themselves through rock instruments? it helps them to experience and appreciate the art of performance, collaboration, sharing creative ideas then trying them out to see what happens. Quite often, these initial musical experiences inspire students to delve deeper into other genres. all pupils here have access to the electric/acoustic guitars, amps, basses, keyboard and acoustic/electric drum kits and Claremont senior school students have always banded together to play music with each another and regularly ‘rock’ the performance stage in the space theatre. at the Compassion talent show in March this year one notable band, simply gleb, formed by russian student, gleb buchnev, covered rage against the Machine’s Killing in the Name with the help of students Jack Lofting, tom o’brien hughes and performing arts assistant, harry Mousley. gleb filled the stage with his infectious rock ‘n’ roll spirit, unleashing his mane of hair and teenage angst in front of a mesmerized audience of parents and fellow students. the performance began with the band playing the intro before gleb stood up at the back of the audience, belted out the first line of the song, then proceeded to march through the theatre telling everyone ‘you do what they told yah’. also performing that night was the Jam Club. this popular club incorporates many different musicians, songs and instruments including brass, drums, guitar, piano and more. the Jam Club covered amy winehouse’s Valerie, Expectations by Lauren and paolo Nutini’s Iron Sky, with a different lead vocalist performing each one. this club allows students to better understand collaboration in music and their performance at the Compassion talent show echoed this. Jack, drums; Tom, guitar; Gleb, vocals guitar, bass and drums how did the band form? we were helping out a mate (gleb), who wanted to play some songs as it was his last year at Claremont, then it turned into something much more, and watching the audience reaction just added to our enjoyment and performance. What music do you play? rock/rap music. do you write your own songs? gleb does, however they are more on the rap side than rock music. What music do you like? gleb: rock music, rap music, russian music mostly. Tom: i enjoy all sorts of music from 80’s rap to hard rock. Jack: any music. Who are your rock and pop idols? Tom: i really look up to and admire Led Zeppelin, the guitarist Jimmy page is an icon who keeps surprising with his riffs. Jack: Jimi hendrix and roger taylor from Queen, because he’s a sick drummer. gleb: other than my russian idols, i am inspired by kurt Cobain, bon Jovi and Mr Mousley our performing arts assistant. does being in the band give you cred with the other kids? gleb (agreeing before the question was even finished): Yes it does and it feels great being complimented at the end of a performance, particularly after all the hard work that goes into it.
