Our new Auckland Central (Owairaka) choir opens on this week: 2 May (7:15pm to 9:15pm (Tuesdays at Mt Albert Grammar)
this is our 6th All Together Now community choir - Auckland Central (Grey Lynn), Auckland Central (Owairaka) - Auckland East - Hobsonville - Tauranga - Taupo
NO AUDITIONS! - We believe that singing is a learned skill, that almost everyone can acquire with a little effort and some good teaching.
Lots of people have grown up believing that they can’t sing, because of experiences they’ve had or things that have been said to them. There are many reasons why this happens, but we have seen over and over again that with good guidance and the right environment, people can find their way into singing.
Our community choirs aim to create an environment where people aged 16+ can find support, skills and encouragement to learn to sing well. We don’t promise it will be effortless but we do promise to do everything we can to support our singers.
Our Choir Leaders are all music graduates, and are either professionals working in the choral and vocal fields, or have years of experience of singing in choirs.
Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???
“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.
On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.
[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.
Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.
Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
