The Music Learning Centre in Redwood has a couple of weekly lesson slots immediately available for violin, piano and cello students.

My wife, Liz Sneyd, is our violin teacher. She is a Phd in Maths and Violin, has a Queen's Service Medal for Music Education and a NZ Secondary Schools' Teaching Certificate. She has been a professional musician and teacher for 30+ years.

I am the piano teacher. I have a Masters degree in Composition, Licentiate Diploma in Piano from Trinity College, and a Queen's Service Medal for Music Education. I have been a professional musician since the 1980s, as a pianist, viola player, composer, arranger, music typesetter (very experienced on Sibelius software) and teacher. I can also help with advanced Theory and Composition.

Our son Benjamin Sneyd-Utting is our cello teacher. He has a B.Mus. in Cello and Composition, and an Associate Diploma in Cello from Trinity College. He's in his Honours year at the NZ School of Music at Victoria University this year.

If you're interested, please enquire about lesson-times and fees via email or phone: sneydutting@gmail.com or 027-630-7435. We have violins available for hire, and teach students of all ages!

Live independently while your loved one is cared for in the same Ryman village.

A full life for Helen is one that is surrounded by family. When she first moved to the village, Helen’s husband John was being cared for elsewhere. Now that he is living at the same village, it brings Helen and her family so much happiness and reassurance.

“All the family cried when he moved in. They were so happy because it was such a beautiful thing to have him close by.”
