Make Beautiful Music with BFZ and The Phoenix


Bully Free Zone and The Bolton Phoenix are delighted to bring you not one, but TWO fantastic opportunities to get involved in music production. The Phoenix are running two projects at the moment and would love for young people from BFZ to get involved:


"Sonic Beats is open to young people who are interested in creating a Junk Band. Using found and recycled objects, the group will create original sounding instruments to play rhythmical beats from influences across the world. There will be performances opportunities across the North West at festivals, carnivals and concerts. These weekly workshops start on Tuesday 22 January 4.30-6.30pm and will run throughout the year. Everyone welcome.


Sonic Studio offers 15-18 year olds the chance to create electronic and digital music, including recording techniques. Short courses are being run throughout the year at The Phoenix, teaching young people the latest techniques in digital music. There will also be tips on creating art work for CDs. Each participant will create their own CD to take away with them. First session begins Wednesday 6 February, 4.30-6.30pm. Closed workshops for groups are available at a heavily subsidised cost, times can be negotiated to meet the groups needs.


There's also the opportunity to gain accreditation from the National Arts Awards.


Act on your instincts and Get Involved!"
