CLASSROOMS pBUZZING WITH THE JOY OF MUSIC School children have been having fun making music with pBuzz – the affordable and fun brass instrument. More eye catching than a recorder and easier to play than a ukelele the brightly coloured pBuzz is proving a hit with music teachers and children alike. Specially designed for children’s small hands it is aimed at being the fun first step in taking children on what, hopefully, will become a life-long passion for music and brass instruments. A playful product, the pBuzz encourages children as young as three to play and enjoy music and aids sensory and fine motor skills, encourages self-expression, stimulates imagination and creativity, and builds confidence. Recently adopted by Pennthorpe School in West Sussex as part of Brass Band England’s ‘Create a Buzz!’ competition, Linda Cole, Pennthorpe’s Director of Music, said: ‘The children had such a wonderful experience learning to play their pBuzzes; children love making music but will be put off if it early on if it seems too much like hard work, so my advice is to start with something that is accessible and is fun – like the pBuzzes’
