Hi neighbours! My name is Larissa King and I have been teaching singing and songwriting and directing choirs in schools since completing my bachelor of music in 2012.
I have worked with ages 5 - Adult in primary schools, high schools and tertiary institutes around Auckland and Tauranga.

I have recently moved to Wellington and will be running Private lessons from a studio in Brooklyn.

I teach contemporary vocals using the Estill vocal technique which is fun, practical and sees amazing results. I also run a 2-term long beginner songwriting course for children aged 10 and over where we break down and learn what makes a great song (hooks, melody, lyrics writing, guitar, percussion, recording) and your child comes away with a recorded demo of the song we write over the course. (some singing experience required).

If you are at all interested in grabbing a slot for either singing or songwriting for term 4 or have any general questions - Please send me a message!

Hi everyone
City Council officers have asked councillors to provide feedback on where new bus shelters are wanted. If you have any suggestions please let us know.
Obviously there will be a process to prioritise where shelters get built because there will always be only a limited level of resources at any one time.
We have a long term process to provide shelters across most locations where people wait for buses. For the most part that means will focus will be on citybound stops and at suburban centres / substantial destinations/ hubs.
