Singing FUN-DAMENTALS

Julia from Henderson

Think you can’t sing – but would like to? It’s amazing how many people in our singing community have been told they can’t, or shouldn’t, sing. Have you always wanted to sing, enjoyed singing and been told you can’t. or want to sing, but the prospect seems a little daunting…

All Together Now is a group of singing communities where we warmly welcome singers of all backgrounds and abilities. We provide great songs and excellent teaching, so that we can make beautiful music together, with lots of fun and laughter on the way!

This year we have started a new choir - FUN-DAMENTALS - for everyone who would love to sing in a choir but doesn't think they can sing, or wants to know a bit more about singing and choirs first, or just wants to build some confidence.

This is a low-pressure, no-questions-are-stupid, no judgement, come-and-give-it-a-go group. You can transfer from this one to another of our choirs later on, or stay here forever - it’s up to you!

Unlike our other choirs (where we only have Open Nights at the start of each term) you are welcome to come along at any stage – though we do ask you to *register* first, so that we have the resources to welcome & support you.

Fun-damentals
Venue: Mt Eden Normal Primary School Hall, corner of Valley Road and Sherbourne Road
Time: Tuesday 7.15pm to 9.15pm
Choir Leader: Claire Caldwell and Kate Bell

Register through our Join a Choir page, select Fun-damentals, and we'll be in touch!

At All Together Now, we believe that singing is a learned skill so we welcome people at all stages of their singing development.

If you love to sing, or think you would love to sing and genuinely want to learn, our choirs are for you! We aim for a high musical standard, and we provide skilled teachers and great support to help everyone get there together.

As well as the opportunity to learn to sing well, our choirs offer great fun, a sense of community within each group and the wider organisation, and a way to contribute to our local communities by fundraising for charity.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
