GUITAR LESSONS

Guitar, Ukulele, Bass Guitar and Singing lessons are available at Maungaraki school on Tuesday’s and the cost is $10.00 per session (2nd child from the same family is 1/2 price)

As a music tutor I love seeing my students "get it" and my unique “fast style” will have your child up and playing chords and songs in their very first lesson.
Progression is my focus and over my career I have developed hundreds of high quality hand made song sheets for my students to progress through.
In home private lessons are also available in Guitar, Ukulele, Bass Guitar, Drumming, Singing or Songwriting from $25.00 per session.

Contact Andrew McPartlin on andymcpmusic@outlook.com or 0211428007 for bookings or more information.

FOOTBALL

We are SportZone and we run City League, a fun weekly football tournament for kids aged 6-12 at the Hutt Recreation Ground on Sunday mornings. We are always looking for new kids to sign up, and it would be great if you could post our flyer around the school, or put something in your school newsletter for the kids/parents.
We also run after school football; where we come to your school and run an hour long football session for your students. If this is something you might be interested, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us!
