Females are underrepresented in the world of professional drumming, but one Mountains group wants to change that. Gina Tedeschi, a drummer and the sister of classical pianist Simon Tedeschi, is starting an all girls drumming group at the Blue Mountains Music Academy.
“The idea came about after years of being a professional drummer myself, and always having people comment about me being a ‘female drummer’, rather than just a drummer,” Ms Tedeschi said.
“I want to show the world that girls can be amazing drummers too, and to inspire young girls to take up whatever activities they like without feeling like there are gender barriers.”
Anyone interested in the all girl drumming group or in learning another instrument or vocal training, contact the Blue Mountains Music Academy on 0450 227 271.
