Musicnet Summary to 8 Nov 2019

Kia ora tātou

I had the pleasure of attending the Vodafone Music Artisan Awards earlier this week. Duncan Ferguson from St Andrews College in CHCH was awarded the Music Teacher of the Year. Thanks to Mike at the NZ Music Commission for starting and supporting this award. 

Faculty Rocks is now in it’s 3rd year with 29th Nov being the date to see which teacher band will win! Bands travel from around the country, and so if you can’t make it this year, start planning for 2020.
