Wellington Music Centre
Kia ora!
The Wellington Music Centre warmly invites you to join us in making music in 2022!
The WMC is one of the longest running non-profit Saturday morning music centres in Wellington, having provided tuition for over 35 years. We provide a warm and welcoming start for absolute beginners as well as catering to more advanced players. We recognise that music has huge benefits on childhood development including improving communication, creativity, social skills and confidence. Our tutors are highly experienced and dedicated to nurturing student growth in a fun and inspiring environment.
Classes are held every Saturday morning during term-time (excluding public holidays) at Miramar North School, for children 5-12 of any playing ability.
We aim to be as inclusive as possible and our fees begin at $120 for a whole year of tuition. Subsequent classes are reduced and there is a fee for instrument hireage where appropriate.
Visit our website for more information and enrolment details. Please get in touch if you have any questions, we would love to hear from you!

Summer on the South Coast
Summer is here again! Fantastic weather beckoning all to get out and enjoy it.
So my request is, if you are cycling, running, walking on our beautiful south coast roads between Breaker Bay and Ohwiro Bay - please be courteous to all road users, even those of us stuck in cars.
The roads are scenic, but they are also narrow, with lots of blind corners. This makes it very difficult for faster moving traffic (cars) to pass slower moving traffic (cycles, walkers, runners). On a bad day this can result in frustrated cars making rash decisions to overtake - putting everyone in danger.
If you are enjoying the coast road on a cycle, and there are cars behind you, please do be considerate and pull over when you have a chance so that they can pass. "Hugging the left" does not really help on a narrow road with blindspots. Stopping is ideal.
If you are enjoying coast on foot, please be conscious of visibility and stay off the road where possible.
If you are enjoying the coast in a car, please be courteous to others - good will spreads, unfortunately so does selfishness.
Lastly - everyone watch out for penguins, they were here first but they don't read Neighbourly or road signs.
Happy and Safe summer everyone.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
