NOTICES



Sponsorship

Southern Star Lodge has offered the Nelson School of Music sponsorship to fund a music programme in the Victory Community Centre.

The aim of this sponsorship is to provide an opportunity for children in a school with a low decile rating to learn music in a supportive and safe environment, with the recognition of Nelson School of Music tuition. Victory Primary School would select 10 pupils a year that have an aptitude and commitment to music to participate in the programme, aged 7-12years.

They will have an opportunity to perform in the School's auditorium at the end of the year and a chance to develop their talents.

The decision to run the classes in the Victory Community Centre allows the students to attend without being dependant on transportation to classes.

This is an exciting new venture that reaches into a community that would otherwise not have the financial means to learn to play music but nevertheless have an enormous amount of talent. The students will be taught by one of our accredited teachers, Frances Rae, who is also a member of the Nelson Symphony Orchestra.

 

Contemporary Music Performance Course

The Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology and the School of Music have joined forces. The course is available through the NMIT Arts and Media School – Contemporary Music Programme and will eventually reach a degree level over the next few years. Forming the partnership has allowed growth of the programme, to share resources previously not available to us and give our young people a place to learn and thrive.

 

Tuition Available

Individual tuition has been a principal activity of the School since it opened in 1894.

The Nelson School of Music has over 30 accredited teachers offering the highest standard of tuition in a variety of instruments including voice.

Please email, visit our website or telephone us directly for more information.

  

Community Music Classes

We also offer courses for pre-school children through to adults with a variety of programmes providing the Nelson community the opportunity to learn, participate in and appreciate music.

Please email, visit our website or telephone us directly for more information.

Teaching Vacancies

Applications are invited from teachers of music, to teach as private teachers at the School. Please contact the School for further information.
