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.

John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
