SUMMARY:MusicWorks Ensemble Festival Aotearoa (MEFA) - Aotearoa’s Premier National School Ensemble Festival
DESCRIPTION:Held in Wellington\, MEFA is New Zealand’s premier national school ensemble festival\, celebrating both traditional and jazz/blues styles. Our mission is to foster a vibrant\, educational\, and community-driven environment where students can thrive through music. With world-class concerts\, mentorship\, and performances\, MEFA provides an unparalleled opportunity for students to perform\, learn\, and grow. There is no other festival like it in New Zealand. \nUnlike traditional festivals that focus primarily on competition\, MEFA is designed around a mentorship-driven framework\, offering students engaging workshops and unique learning experiences. We collaborate with some of New Zealand’s top educators and musicians\, including the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra (NZSO)\, Royal New Zealand Air Force Band\, leading universities\, and MENZA. With over 60 tailored workshops\, students develop not only their individual instrumental and vocal skills but also gain exposure to areas they may not typically explore in school—such as improvisation\, conducting\, and mixed-ensemble collaboration\, enhancing both their musical and social development. \nFor schools that wish to compete\, MEFA’s adjudicated performances provide an opportunity to strive for excellence across a range of ensembles—from choral groups and orchestras to concert bands and jazz ensembles. Each performance is followed by a specialized workshop with a top mentor\, ensuring students receive constructive guidance to refine their skills. \nEvening concerts showcase performances by some of New Zealand’s finest musicians\, including members of the Royal New Zealand Air Force Big Band and the NZSO. These concerts offer students access to world-class performances\, with select opportunities for student participation—an invaluable experience that further enhances their development as musicians. \nMEFA’s education-first approach makes it accessible for ensembles of all levels\, from beginner groups to New Zealand’s top school ensembles. Each year\, we take pride in providing young musicians with a supportive and inspiring space to perform\, learn\, and be part of a true festival experience. \nClick here to find out more and register your school.

DESCRIPTION:Uke-Can-Do-It-for-MENZA \nThe New Zealand Ukulele Trust invites all Year 5-13 students in NZ to enter our songwriting competition which closes on Friday 1st November 2024.  With time running out quickly and school holidays around the corner\, we are asking Head of Music Departments (or any lead teacher who can talk to the appropriate age groups for their school) to share this competition with their students.  Students do not need to be in a ‘Kiwilele’ school to enter. There may be budding vocalists\, poets and musicians who aren’t experienced in the ukulele\, but who may be able to submit an amazing song with basic chord progressions that would suit beginner ukulele players. \nFurther details can be found on our website:  https://www.nzukulele.org.nz/uke-can-do-it.html and the attached flyer which we would appreciate if you could share either in school newsletters\, assemblies or in class. \nThank you for any support you can give us in encouraging the imagination and creativity of your tamariki through this musical competition. \nNga mihi\, \nSean Dean \nNew Zealand Ukulele Trust.

The Board has been working hard on this with the assistance of Maude and Miller and is asking the membership to adopt the new constitution at the next AGM. \nThe draft constitution was first presented to the membership at last year’s AGM\, and feedback was received. Another draft version was presented at the Special General Meeting in Oct 2023\, where more thorough feedback was sought. After consultation with the membership and advice from lawyers\, I will put forward the following motion: \nI propose that the MENZA membership adopt the new Constitution presented to the membership on the 15th of June\, 2024. \nPlease find a copy of the constitution to have a read-through. \nI would also like to propose a change to our membership fees.

SUMMARY:MEFA Musicworks Ensemble Festival 2023
DESCRIPTION:New Zealand’s fastest growing National Festival that caters for all ensembles from Jazz Band\, Concert Band\, Stage bands\, Orchestras and a mix of small ensembles. \nThis year the festival is bigger\, brighter\, and better than ever with a new name MEFA (Music Ensemble Festival Aotearoa)\, more activities\, performances\, concerts and workshops. Including performances and mentoring from the members from leading National bands and ensembles. \nMEFA offers both schools and community ensembles a truly encompassing festival. \nFor schools\, MEFA offers an all-in-one experience for all ensembles with the ability for the different ensembles to perform on different days\, giving all students an opportunity to perform and learn. \nHear professional ensembles perform at one of the evening Gala Concerts and attend mentoring with great educators as well as Band Director professional development sessions. \nWith the addition this year of a full line up of workshops\, teacher professional development days and a new awards system\, MEFA makes it the perfect opportunity in term three for any school to participate. \n*Check out the WeBO 2022 Event Schedule \n*All performances and concerts at WeBO 2022 are accessible and free of charge to the public.   \nHow it All Works \nDaily Outline \nEach day features a key ensemble style split into morning and afternoon sessions\, with ensembles scheduled for their part of the day to perform on the main stage\, then moving to a private ensemble workshop directly after the performance with one of the clinicians. \nWhen not perfuming\, members of the ensemble are encouraged to attend the sessions remaining performances in the audience to support the other ensembles. \nBoth the morning and afternoon sessions have complimentary workshops and mentoring sessions running all day so ensembles can perform for example in the morning session then attend workshops in the afternoon and the opposite for those performing in the afternoon. \n*Each day ends with an awards ceremony. \n\nYour Ensemble Concert Performance \nEach ensemble has a performance time of 20 mins on the main stage and 5 mins either side for entering and leaving the main stage. \nPerformances will be evaluated by some of of New Zealand and Australia’s top educators and clinicians who will provide valuable written and spoken feedback on the  performances\, as well as taking a support clinic immediately afterwards. \nAfter your ensembles main performance the group will be taken to the workshop hall nearby for a short personal workshop with one of the clinicians who has watched and evaluated your performance. \n*The second hall is set to allow a quick transition for attendees and a more relaxed atmosphere for the workshop. \n\nDaily Workshops \nDuring the course of the day a series of workshops and mentoring sessions are run in the morning then again in the afternoon. This allows MEFA participants the options of attending and supporting their performance session\, and also receive valuable tuition and support from our great mentors in workshops at the opposite part of the day. \n\nAwards \nEvery ensemble performing receives a Platinum\, Gold or Silver participation certificate along with a director’s video containing the adjudicators voice over. MEFA is primarily a participation event\, so no matter your ensembles skill set\, or repertoire\, awards are given on key criteria that encompass all aspects of an ensemble. \n\nEvening Concert Performances \nOn the evenings of the festival we have fantastic gala concerts with a combination of professional players\, ensembles and invited MEFA participants. \n\n*Send questions and registrations to: education@musicworks.co.nz \n*Register here

SUMMARY:Wellington Orchestra Festival 2023
DESCRIPTION:A day of orchestral rehearsal and performance for Primary and Intermediate-aged students who can read music and play an instrument. \nWe have six pieces arranged by Richard Oswin\, ranging from classical favourites to film scores and pop hits. \nThis is an ideal opportunity for students who practice mostly on their own to join other students and make music in one big ensemble. The technical difficulty of the music is suitable for students in their second or third year of learning. Along with the four orchestra sections\, there are parts for drum kit\, hand percussion\, guitar\, bass\, keyboard\, Orff xylophone and recorders. Students can work on their parts with instrumental tutors leading up to the day\, nearly prepared to play up to 6 pieces. Schools can also use the repertoire to play in their own ensemble during the year. \nThis year we will be conducted by Mike Ashton. The day begins with a massed rehearsal\, followed by sectionals and finishes with a concert of the six pieces. The concert will also include a guest performance from musicians from Orchestra Wellington. \nSchools registered for WOF will also get the opportunity to take part in Orchestra Wellington’s Education in Schools Programme and the Big Bash – musicians from Orchestra Wellington will come to your school to help prepare your students! A separate schedule will be sent out so that schools can sign up for these workshops over Term 2. \nContact Joanna Calvert if you have any questions. We encourage new schools and students to participate in this event\, come and join the fun. Sign up for WOF using the link below and then you will get sent the sheet music to start practising! \nRegister here. \nCost: \n\nMENZA Member: $100 per school\nNon-member: $130 (includes membership to MENZA for one year)\n\nOrganiser: Joanna Calvert –  calvertj@scotscollege.school.nz \nDownload WOF 2023 A4 Poster
