Tomi's programme consists of Liszt's Rhapsody followed by the second movement from Beethoven's Sonata, Pathetique and lastly Chopin's Ballade No.1 in G minor - a very exciting programme.
The performance will be videoed as part of his performance for scholarships exams and is also in preparation for the national piano concerto competition in Christchurch at the end of the year.
Koha appreciated.

The chance of surviving is much higher when they receive immediate help.
St John as most of us know are responsible for our ambulance service, however they are so much more than that; and today we are focusing on a service that some of us are aware of, but it is not as widely known as we would like and that there is a very important training which is FREE – This is a 1-hour session called 3 Steps for Life skills to save lives. It is very important that we all learn how we can be of help to those who we consider our community.
This month of October Hato Hone St John, for the third year in a row, are dedicating the entire month to educating as many kiwis as possible, across the motu, how to respond to someone having a cardiac arrest. They now name October Shocktober and will be out and about in the community offering education on 3 Steps for Life
You will find them at:
16th October at Mitre 10 Mega from 12 noon – 1pm
20th October at Seaside Market between 9am – 2pm
22nd October at St John Hall Hawera from 5.30pm
3 Steps for Life is designed to give all New Zealanders the confidence and awareness to take action when somebody suffers a cardiac arrest by:
1) Calling 111 – what to expect
2) Starting CPR - what to do and how you can start
3) Using an AED- (Automated External Defibrillator) -
This training session is so helpful and takes the mystery and uncertainty out of what needs to happen.
Justin, one of our Taranaki Community Educators talks with Marie and Graham on their Volly Voices show on Access Radio about how he works predominantly works in schools and how students are taught how to respond in an emergency. He works with year 1 – year 13; and from year 7 and up the CPR component is added. It is also interesting to learn from Justin about the other programmes that are available for our young ones – in total there are four different programmes delivered in schools.
Hato Hone St John New Plymouth offers full first Aid training locally too and if you are interested in joining one, Volunteering New Plymouth will be organising one in the near future so you can check with them about joining of one of their sessions or check St John online for their next available training.
Where can you learn more? If you are interested to learn more about Hato Hone St John, you can listen to:
Volly Voices live on Access Radio Taranaki 104.4fm on Sunday 13th October at 2pm when Justin chats about what is happening at St John and how they support the community and the training sessions they offer

The fascia release done with Bowen Therapy can be so effective after injuries.

This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.
Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society.
