Introducing Amy Our New Teesside And South Durham Musical Minis Manager

We are delighted to announce that Teesside and South Durham Musical Minis will recommence in January 2020.

Musical Minis Teesside and South Durham was established in 2008 and ran until 2018 when the franchisee had to leave due to family circumstances. Since then we have been constantly getting requests for classes in the area. Amy Reid, who ran some classes for the franchise, contacted us recently to see if she could start some sessions up again. Musical Minis Head Office is going to do all the administration for the area and Amy will be the local Manager and run weekly classes. Both Musical Minis Head Office ans Amy are excited about this new venture.

Amy has introduced herself below:

Hi, I am Amy and I am delighted to be have been given the opportunity to manage the Musical Minis South Teesside area. I’m originally from South Wales, but I now live in Ingleby Barwick with my husband, our two children Alexis (5) and Owen (3) and our two dogs Finlay and Ivy.

Alexis and Owen were both regulars at the South Teesside Musical Minis sessions before they started into full-time nursery and the classes were hugely beneficial for them both. I started attending with Alexis when she was just 3 months old and since she’s developed into a little singing star – she loves music and sings everywhere she goes!

The classes were even more helpful for Owen who was diagnosed with a swallowing disorder when he was very little. They were great for helping to bring along his speech, co-ordination and confidence in an environment where he could feel relaxed and be around other children of his age. He has since developed into a bright and mischievous little boy – he certainly keeps us and his big sister on our toes!

As for me, my background in music started from a young age and I attended Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester where I specialized in flute, piano and vocals. After leaving school, I worked as a club singer with one of my friends and our band Seren was a regular in the pubs and clubs of South Wales for several years. My day job however was very different, working as Veterinary Nurse and I eventually pursued this as my main career for 10 years before stopping when the children came along. It came as a nice surprise therefore when I was given the opportunity to get back into music and temporarily help with the South Teesside franchise in 2018. And I am even more pleased that I’ve once again been given the opportunity now!

We plan to run classes in Ingleby Barwick, Thornaby and Wolviston and I know the sessions will be very friendly with a lovely atmosphere and offer a great opportunity to meet other parents and children in a fun setting. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones there!

Classes with be available to book into in the next few weeks - we are just waiting to finalise dates and times with venues. As soon as we know we will set online booking live here. If you would like to register your interest email [email protected] .
