Our vision is based on our belief that through formal music training from a young age children are offered the opportunity to further their own self belief, self discipline and develop lifelong love of music. Playing music well with a group of friends can create a special kind of magic.
We believe that our music programme offers a powerful tool for social change in communities who would not otherwise be given this opportunity. Through the empowerment of a large group of children we seek in turn to empower their community.
Our vision is to provide 5 years of free music tuition for primary and intermediate school pupils. Currently our programme is open to students at Hastings Central and Ebbett Park Schools, from middle school (Year 3 or Year 4) onwards. We also teach students at contributing schools Hastings and Heretaunga Intermediates.
This will lead to the students moving into high school and the government subsidised secondary school itinerant music tuition programme.
Our tutors are some of the best in the region. Each child has a quality instrument, bow and case. We believe that all children deserve to learn from skilled tutors using quality instruments. Many instruments have been donated by kind supporters from around our community. All are repaired and maintained to ensure each child has a quality instrument to learn on.
