Musicnet Summary to 19 Sept 2019

Kia ora tātou

One of the most exciting opportunities to come out this week is a collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Creative NZ and Ministry of Heritage and Culture called ‘Creatives in Schools’ Initiative. Think of it as a refresh and change from the old ‘Artists in Schools’ project from before my time. Also think of it like the NZ Music Commission’s Music mentors program but spread over 8-20 weeks. It is a funded project, with money for expenses, your time and the artists. Applications are due 1 Nov and I urge you to get one in, so that we have a number of strong Music-related applications. 

This years three finalists for the Music Teacher of the Year are Sue Banham, Jane Egan and Duncan Ferguson. The winner will be announced in WLG on the 14th November.
