We give students the opportunity to explore and develop their own musical tastes and as a result, they practice more and make more progress in lessons.We currently teach 400 students in 9 primary schools and 6 community centres across Wellington, Dunedin and New Plymouth.

We arranged inspection and assessment of buildings across NZ to determine causes of leaks and appropriate remediation, and ensured that the government's contribution was fair and in accordance with the WHRS Act and subsequent amendments.I had the unique role of scheduling and allocating the 'building technical' elements of our service to 5 internal staff and ~100 external contractors. This permanent part-time role complimented teaching music in schools, and allowed me to build on the project co-ordination experience I gained while working at Goodtime Music Academy. During my 2 years I managed the logistical aspects of ~$6million of contractor assesment and building technical work. I was very fortunate to be given room to grow and contribute as part of a small and passionate team and would like to acknowledge my colleagues for their professional support and input; Katharine Wheeler, Andrew Vere-Jones, Ron Esveld, Matt Grant, Ross Wood.
