Each year the School of Music offers to the public a wide range of concerts and events featuring distinguished staff, guests and outstanding students, as well as events that involve broader collaboration with the arts. We are dedicated to fostering musicianship in young people, and as such, we are proud to be in partnership with the Pettman National Junior Academy of Music (PNJA) in its 10th year, Associate Professor Martin Rummel hosting a series of concerts throughout 2016 (see Head, School of Music pages 12-13). EDUCATION At both undergraduate and postgraduate level, the School of Music provides a vibrant and diverse environment for students to extend their learning in classical and jazz performance, popular music, musicology, composition and studio pedagogy. We provide a range of performance opportunities and actively encourage our students to participate in the local music industry. Whilst undertaking a creative pursuit is challenging in today’s STEM-focused environment, the creative arts and industries are currently thriving in New Zealand and internationally. With your help, our students can make the most of the available opportunities. If you would like to benefit our current students through a prize, award, scholarship or internship, we would love to hear from you.
