Nimble Art

Nimble Arts North is thrilled to be launching Buzz Music classes for babies, toddlers and school-age children at Stretford Public Hall at the end of November.

Our brand new electronic music classes are run by Nimble Arts Director Catherine Burgis, also known as recording artist and producer Test Card Girl (BBC 6Music One to Watch 2022, Greater Manchester Mayor’s Artist of the Month April 2023, as heard on 6Music, Radio X, Absolute Radio) They are a unique blend of composing and performing using mini keyboards, loop pedals and all kinds of weird and wonderful noise makers and technology!

No prior experience is needed for any of our classes, and they are designed to build musicality and rhythm, develop motor skills, team work and confidence! Buzz Babes is our peaceful class for 0-pre-crawlers and their parents.

Let the electronic lullabies wash over you as you create sounds, sequences and songs using your own mini keyboard (if you want!) – the perfect way to wind down and experience something new! Our mixed aged 6 months – 4 years Buzz Tots classes are ideal for older children and their siblings, or crawling + babies and toddlers.

Children use their voice, their hands, and their feet to create their own musical worlds and adults get to join in too! This is a fantastic first step to introducing children to musical instruments and finding their way around a keyboard.

Our Buzz Kids classes for Reception to Year 2 and Year 3-6 are a more advanced class (again no experience necessary!) where parents can stay and watch (or get on with some work outside the room!). These classes take a musical stimulus each week from which we draw out motifs and ideas to create our own masterpieces.

We work on developing musicality through learning by ear, learning to read symbols, working together, experimenting, composing and performing. Where will our next musical adventures take us?
