Why Music?

I live in New Malden which is in the borough of Kingston in SW London.

I’m involved with music because as a child it was not only a positive outlet but a necessary one, an imperative one, as it was a way for me to connect to others. Music is quite literally my first language. When I was young (3 or 4), I was not

talking so had speech therapy. That didn’t have much impact so I moved to music therapy. Music therapy helped, and music still helps me, to communicate and

connect with others, to express / be myself, to be part of the world.

I asked my mum about her memories of my speech & music therapy

Speech therapy I felt……………..

• anxious about how you felt • guilty as I thought that it was my fault that you weren’t talking • relieved that I had something constructive to do & a way of communicating

sounds using signs • pleased that someone was trying to help

I think that you felt……………………… • Pleased that you could communicate even if only with making sounds • Frustrated that you couldn’t say what you wanted to

Music therapy I was…..

• relieved that there was an alternative to speech therapy which seemed to have achieved all it was going to achieve

• amazed by the effect it had on you • delighted that you were enjoying it so much • hopeful that it was going to work much more that speech therapy

I think that you were…………………… • very happy to be communicating with ‘musical’ speech • enjoying the ‘music’ making very much • excited by the music • emotionally charged because it was good fun and something you loved • able to ‘talk’ in a language instigated by you i.e. you were ‘in charge’ with

Pamela following your lead • free to ‘shout’ because you’d found your voice

My earliest musical memories involve listening to my mum singing and playing guitar, listening to the radio when my dad had it on. I fell in love with (a record of)

Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker / Swan Lake at the age of 8.

The same year (1988), my oldest brother gave me a tape of Queen's album The Works. I was hooked. 3 years later, Freddie died. I remember the Tribute concert the year after. My parents got me 2 tickets to see/hear Brian May and Kerry Ellis

perform at the Royal Albert Hall some years ago when they released their Anthems album. Kerry previously was a star in the queen / Ben Elton musical "We Will Rock

You" in London, which I saw twice (although not when she was in it).

One of Mike Oldfield’s tracks in particular (not from TB) is emotional for me as it was used in an acrobatics display my brother used to do with someone else at this

acrobatics club. Mike Oldfield is a British musician who became famous due to his album Tubular Bells (and the later Tubular Bells II, Tubular Bells III and Millenium

Bell), which was the first album released on Richard Branson's Virgin Records label.

For many years, being part of 2 local community choirs (associated to Tiffin Boys School and Kingston Grammar School) was an ‘excuse’ to spend time with family (dad, his brother & wife, dads sister). Singing in a choir was another way to learn

about music, develop my passion, be part of something bigger than myself, to become more confident using my voice- to sing loudly and be heard but not above

anyone else — to be equal, to make a difference.

My educational background is in music — I had piano lessons for many years and studied music at university — piano, composition, theory, history…

In 2002 I graduated with a BMus from at Roehampton Uni. I studied music (including piano & composition) and gained experience as a piano accompanist for "Shades of

Harmony" (an intimate female choir) and a string trio. I also helped a solo singer pass a grade exam. I wrote a thesis (supervised by Dr B Norton) on Philip Glass'

opera trilogy; Einstein on the Beach, Satyagraha & Akhnaten. During 2002-03 I studied film/TV composition at Kingston Uni. I got involved with an arts event called "transit station”. The first Station was at Kingston, then we travelled to Berlin & Edinburgh. I collaborated (as composer / pianist) with dancers and live /

performance artists and film makers.

In 2003 I created the soundtrack for (Death (G)row (Right Charlie Productions).

In 2005 I composed the score for a short film (The Spotter, dir. Li, prod. Main) by students at the London Film Academy.

Feb - July 2005 - worked with Sheen Mount School as a pianist. In 2011 I gained further experience as an accompanist at St John's primary school in Kingston.

2006-07 - worked as a play-worker & gained a level 2 CACHE playwork certificate.

In 2007 I gained experience as a youth music tutor.

During 2010-12, under the banner “piano Talent”, I worked with London based singer-songwriter called Nix Nugent. Piano Talent is now a platform to promote other

pianists, teachers, composers etc… @pianotalent / fb.com/PianoTalentUK

Around 2007 I started working as a composer on an opera / musical / music theatre piece based on a book called We All Know Too Much by Chris Eales. This is a

project I would like to bring to fruition in the future. Find out more at WAKTM.com

Since 2011 (rupertcheek.blogspot.co.uk ) I have been developing my skills / experience / passion for using social media to connect with musicians and help them

to connect / communicate with others.

Music promotion via Cheeky Promo, born on 1st January 2013, is perhaps a way of finding people who can help with a musical, social, educational enterprise comprising

Hi Rupert,

I know you cause you are following my company, Melboss Music Inc. (melboss.com).

I'm contacting you cause we are looking for professionals with experience in music and in social media.

Reading your profile I think you could help us. Now I explain how. Melboss is a platform that offers different services:

- some of them implemented inside the platform, and users can pay for them with an automated process.

- others are external services that we outsource to partners, freelance etc etc.

In the last days users are asking for a social media strategy to create/grow their fanbase starting from the scratch. Consider that actually our customers are from US.

Can you help us? Can you send a proposal with budget considering the case that the artist has no followers, no fans (a new fan page), no website..

We need a proposal with monthly objectives, price, etc etc.

Can you prepare it?

We could start a partnership.

Tell me if you have any question.

Thanks, Best, Filippo

Questions / thoughts about arts centre

Making music (and art,…) whether with instruments or computers …]

Help people do what they were born to do Help people (back) into work Training - social media / digital marketing

When I was in Nottingham, someone suggested I offer social media training to unemployed, students, (college) staff. They said I would need to set up as a CIC and apply for lottery funding. College had unemployed people who would want to learn but people/college didn't have the funds to pay for the training.

What makes it different from a school, college, youth centre, uni….?

A) Less/no commitment, more freedom to do different things B) no credit / grades

Richard Harrold ‘Kingston’ Of course, it remains to be seen whether CNM have the capital to go ahead with the project

[at the former Cinema / Bingo hall in Kingston]. Considering that they've gone bankrupt before - particularly over the illegal demolition of the Red Lion in New Malden - before

popping back up again like a bad penny - well, you get the idea.

I'm merely putting forward the idea that[a performance space] is required [in Kingston].

Refer to; www.facebook.com/kingstonregal www.facebook.com/regalkingston

Rupert Cheek what kind of performance?

i.e. what does the Rose not offer? do you think the Rose will..last? what do you know about Pryzm?

Richard Harrold Kingston Its seating capacity and stage are much too small and the acoustics unsuited to live music. I

don't think it will last at all, it's what we call a shell theatre, it could be ripped out and converted to retail within a week... and I understand such a provision exists within its

planning permission.

Richard Harrold Kingston Pryzm is just a rebrand of the infamous Oceana under the same ownership.

Rupert Cheek i understand that

I mean, do you know anything about Pryzm’s success/future?

Richard Harrold Kingston Only that history has a habit of repeating itself if nothing is done to stop it. Rebranding won't

change the fact that it's a venue notorious for drugs, violence, noise and disruption.

Rupert Cheek a Club space would indeed have a large capacity

what about the acoustics of Pryzm

Richard Harrold Kingston Pryzm was built as the Granada cinema in 1939 & seated 1900

Acoustics should be fairly good. The Regal was 2200

Richard Harrold Kingston Wasn't it subdivided in those days? [c1998]

Two screens under the balcony?

Rupert Cheek you don’t think places like the Empire in ..shepherds bush is close enough?

you think Kingston needs a Venue of its own?

Richard Harrold Kingston Empire is just a rock venue and not that big. T here are so many choirs, orchestras, big jazz

bands etc in the local area which want and need a venue but have to turn to wholly inadequate churches…

Rupert Cheek My mums choir (Kingston Orpheus) perform in St Andrews in Surbiton

It’s not a very big choir

Richard Harrold Kingston I know the place well. It's OK for small-scale stuff, but it lacks the facilities to put on big

productions

Rupert Cheek KGS / Tiffin choirs performed in.the Rose, Tiffin Sports Centre hall, ..

Richard Harrold Kingston Take a look at what G-Live in Guildford is doing

Rupert Cheek glive.co.uk/Online/cheap-venue-event-hire-surrey-guildford

Richard Harrold Kingston Not the most wonderful hall ever, but they've got a lot going on there.

There's also the reality that, in the whole London area, there isn't a great concert hall. The Royal Albert Hall is a weird shape and so you get these strange reverberations coming back

from all around the building. The Royal Festival Hall is an eyesore and acoustically completely dead. The Barbican is both of those AND in a terrible area, very hard to find…

London used to have a wonderful hall, the Queen's Hall in Langham Place, opposite Broadcasting House, but it was bombed in WW2 and was not rebuilt.

Rupert Cheek Have you been to Cadogan hall or Wigmore Hall..? I haven’t been to a Concert at the Barbican for ages

Richard Harrold Kingston Wigmore is a small chamber venue and only available now to their own inner sanctum - you

can't hire it and there are a lot of fine musicians they won't let into their inner sanctum.

Rupert Cheek Didn't [The Barbican] spend lots of refurbishment?

Richard Harrold Kingston Cadogan is a nice larger chamber hall but somewhat restricted, and they sold the organ to Sweden (fools!) Barbican and RFH have both had millions squandered on them recently

Rupert Cheek What about Fairfield Halls in Croydon?

Richard Harrold Kingston The best of the 60s halls, which ain't saying much, and have you tried getting from Kingston

to Croydon?! Besides, Croydon is a shit-hole; proven by the number of big businesses pulling their offices out of town as they can't get people to work there!

Rupert Cheek Yes, I went there recently, from New Malden;

train to clapham, then train to croydon. It wasn’t too bad but I agree - it’s not a very attractive place

Did you ever go to Earls Court?

Richard Harrold Kingston I've been through [Croydon], never stopped there though. All being turned into housing now. Kingston to Croydon is half an hour by rail, excluding the wait at Clapham - which is usually

about a quarter of an hour.

Rupert Cheek Cant remember how long it took to get there.

I remember waiting a bit at clapham on the way back.Wasn’t too bad though.

Richard Harrold Kingston I've just checked it on National Rail.

Probably quicker to get from Surbiton to Guildford

Richard Harrold Kingston The auditorium [of the former Cinema / Bingo hall in Kingston]

was basically the same at most of the Granadas - Kingston, Harrow, Bedford (demolished)…

Models for Arts Centre

www.standard.co.uk - £6m mega-youth-centre-in Dagenham, London

London's first 'mega youth centre', costing £6m, on cards for Dagenham.

A pioneering £6 million “mega youth centre” is set to get the go-ahead in one of the most deprived parts of London.

Barking & Dagenham could be the first London borough to approve an OnSide Youth Zone, which provide sports and arts facilities, career mentoring and health sessions to youngsters.

The centre will offer more than 20 activities a day — including climbing, nail art, DJ-ing and employability training — for people aged eight to 19.

The sessions, outside of school hours, cost 50p and an annual membership costs £5. More than 25 activities will be offered to those with a disability.

sandiegouniontribune.com - 4th July '15 - pay-as-you-can-music-school

Bro-Am Studios will, Foreman hopes, help fill a growing void, especially at a time when funding for music and arts in public schools continues to plummet.

“The goal is to be able to supplement music lessons (when the) school system doesn’t have the funds to do that anymore...” he said.

“Music still matters. It’s still important. And, then, the question is: ‘What do we do about it?’ This (school) is a response to that. This is saying: ‘Well, one thing we can do is provide pay-

what-you-can music education for families, right here in our hometown.’

“And, then, at night, we want to provide a positive place for kids to hang out (and) play their first show, right here. I think there’s something incredible about the first time you play in front of people. You see a spark in a child’s eyes, you see them light up. They walk off the stage

(feeling) different from when they walked on.”

But are pay-as-you can music lessons needed in an area as affluent as [Encinitas]?

“Yeah, that’s one of the main reasons why we started this,” Foreman replied. “Because it’s a shocker to learn [30 percent] of the folks that live in and around this area live at or below the (national) poverty level. ... Those are the people we want to make sure we’re saving slots for to be able to be here. And, whether or not they can afford it, that’s who we want to support.”

“[Teach a girl or boy to play guitar, and …] you’ve given them a tool that will give them a lifetime of joy. Music for me has been more than just an individual pursuit; it’s been a vehicle,

a way to examine the world, a planet unto itself, that I can go to and look back at our own planet with fresh eyes. I feel like music, in many ways, is a scaffolding for the soul that

allows you to reach new places you can’t go without it.”

When does a startup stop being a startup?

Chris Grayson: Employees should be paid once there is funding. The pay may not be up to industry pay, but should be heavily offsetwith equity. A startup ceases being a startup when it is runningon its own profits, rather than external capital injection.

The Music EntrepreneurA lot of music startups today are tech startups, because there's a gold rush happening with streaming sites. Unfortunately, there isn't actually much gold to be had, and now that Apple is in the game, they may begin to exercise dominance in the field.

People like me tend to invest in music startups. I have also seen business owners (not necessarily those with a direct connection to the music industry), ambitious entrepreneurial types, and people that are passionate about the music industry invest in music businesses. I think it's tough for the layperson to invest, simply because of the sheer amount of money that's at play. Unless you're willing to problem-solve, take out a second mortgage, build a cash cow (i.e. a business), or save up like crazy, investing is a hard game to join in on.

JR MillerI think the music industry is in the middle of a transition. It's difficult to see the future and what is going to happen for startups or any aspect of the industry. I'm not a songwriter but I am concern that unless something doesn't change in their favor, they will end up looking like the musicians playing as the Titanic slowly sinks into the ocean.

Rupert Cheek: When was the last time the music industry WASN'T going through change? Who was it who said "the best way to predict the future is to create it" ?

Rupert Cheek: +The Music Entrepreneur & +JR Miller - would you mind if I included your thoughts in my article?

The Music Entrepreneur: +JR Miller I have to agree with Rupert here. In the last 15 to 20 years, the music industry has seen nothing but change. However, I am cautiously optimistic about the future of musicians and income opportunities. Technology has supported the growth of a lot of other industries, and I believe it can help with the music industry too.

The Music Entrepreneur: +Rupert Cheek absolutely. Also, let me know if you'd like to put a piece together for +The Music Entrepreneur website. Guest posts tend to do pretty well there, and I have a feeling you would do a great job.

Rupert Cheek: I was planning on publishing it on cheekypromo.com , and / but have been given the opportunity to submit pieces to the +Geeks Life community

Mike DeAngelis:The issue is always money, attention (I mean the ability to focus on a artist and not follow trends) creativity of the artist and the business acumen of the artist...which has to be established first. Start-ups are risky in any field...I don't see a trend in America or in other parts of the world for a Music start-up, its needed. I think we prefer to whine and complain about the music industry rather than do something about it. That could be because most artists are not business people and have no idea on how to start. They certainly are suspicious of lawyers, accountants and business people. Sorry its not probably what you wanted but this is where I see the stumbling blocks for music startups.

Rupert CheekHi +Mike DeAngelis - thanks for your response. What is needed?

Mike DeAngelisI believe we need startups, in music or in any field but as they are risky, competition is brutal and the old dogs won't give up their slice of the pie. So is it better as a start up to toe to toe with the old dogs or carve out a niche where you are the leader of the pack.

www.aimstartups.com - AIM Startups is a [UK based] programme designed to help creative entrepreneurs off to a good start with a new business. With a low interest loan they will be able to cover their start-up costs, and attending training and workshops will give them valuable insight into launching a business. Applicants will receive help and support from the very first steps with perfecting their business plan through their first year of operating their business. Our motto here is ‘AIM for success‘ because we want to help you best as we can in creating a successful business.

Creative businesses have faced significant difficulties in accessing finance from banks since almost the beginning of time, and unless you can borrow from family or friends, or attract private investors to fund you, you may not be able to get the business off the ground. Private investment is a valid option for secondary finance for when you have already had some success, but at the very starting stage it usually means selling a relatively big portion of your business for a fraction of the potential value. Borrowing from friends and family also comes with a risk; arguments relating to money are the arguments that most commonly break relationships. Then there’s us: affordable, unsecured startup loan designed to fund initial costs to get your business up and running, and business specific training and mentoring designed to maximise your chance of success.

clowdy.com"Hey Rupert, Stuart’s a bit busy today so I’m replying. Thanks for your reply. I

hadn’t head of Music Gateway before. We’re slightly different in that we don’t limit ourselves to just music, it’s for everyone involved in any creative industry from film, photography, design, music, art and everything in between. So you can truly collaborate and promote yourself across the arts.

We also aim to be more of a network for the creative industries, rather than just a job board/job postings. The vision of Clowdy is to connect all creatives around the world. At the moment it is really difficult to find people to work with online because different sectors of the creative industries use different services (SoundCloud, Vimeo, Behance, etc) but you all have these connections through your own personal networks.
