LOVE OF LEARNING
Music is not only a beautiful form of expression but also offers numerous cognitive and developmental benefits for young people.

We believe that providing access to high-quality music education can further enrich young people’s learning experiences and foster a love for music that lasts a lifetime.
As we progress through Term 2, all students will have the opportunity to engage in self-assessment to reflect on their musical journey, identify areas of strength, and set goals for personal growth. Our self-assessment forms, revised in 2023, align with the NZ Curriculum’s key competencies and the learning areas for ‘The Arts’, with specific pillars for reflection: Attendance, Preparation, Effort, Attitude, and Environment.
To enrol for music lessons, click here to complete our online enrolment form and we will be in touch with you as soon as there is a space available. All enrolments are processed in the order received.
If your enrolment form has been successfully submitted, you should receive an auto-response email. If this is not the case, please email us at musicschool@lewiseady.co.nz.
If you have any questions about your enrolment, email our dedicated admin team - Cheryl, Gillian, Georgie - at musicschool@lewiseady.co.nz.
See you at your lesson!
