Taranaki Young Musicians
Following on from a very successful Summer Music School held in January at NPBHS, we now invite registrations for Taranaki Young Musicians for music tuition which will commence Monday 1 March. Tuition will be available for flute, violin, guitar, saxophone and brass. If there is efficient demand this may be extended to other instruments.
A feature of this tuition is that young musicians will also get the opportunity to play in larger ensembles.
Tuition is available for Primary to Secondary students, and for beginners to more experienced musicians.
As students become proficient it is intended to develop a Junior Orchestra.
Email Jocelyn Beath, joc.beath@xtra.co.nz for information and registration.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
