School Holiday Music Workshops
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 😊
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
