School Holiday Music Workshops

Grace from Karori

Kia ora koutou,

I’m a neighbourly newbie 😊 I recently moved to Karori from Aro Valley (although originally from Heretaunga (Hastings)) and loving it out here! 😊

I’m starting a new music tutoring studio in Karori offering music lessons and one off workshops in Violin, Guitar, Singing, Songwriting, Recording and Music Theory for all ages and stages (www.graceduncanmusic.com...).

I thought I’d share on here that I’ll be running a few 2-hour music workshops for 8-14 year olds for the second week of the school holidays for parents with kids looking for some fun things to do over the break!

There will be:
- Vocal workshops for 8-12 year olds on Mon 17th and Tues 18th April
- Violin workshops for 8-14 year olds on Mon 17th and Tues 18th April (no violin required)

These are for beginners and/or students looking to try out a new instrument with ‘Music with Grace’!

If you're interested in the workshops or in music lessons, go to www.graceduncanmusic.com... to find out more info and to sign up - limited spaces available 😊

Thanks team 😊

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
