Maori Music Mentoring Day
On Monday 20 August we went to Burnside High School to be involved in the Maori Music Mentoring day.
When we arrived we began by introducing ourselves. There were 2-3 students representing each school from the the Waimairi-iri cluster, along with Majic (a Reggae artist) and Viola and Nathan Riki. We started by getting told that we were going to be writing a song and getting the structure of it. We decided we were going to be writing a bilingual song and split into 2 different groups. Each of them started to write a verse each, with Majic and Nathan Riki taking turns to play the guitar. After our lunch break, we put it all together. We had 2 verses, a chorus and a bridge. After we had been through many practices, we were ready. We lined up and filmed it together. We all really enjoyed the inspirational opportunity.
