We made it!
It has been a pleasure to be a part of your musical journey this year.
A highlight of this term (and this year!) for me has been the end-of-year concerts at our partner schools – a valuable opportunity which was sadly cancelled for the past two years due to COVID restrictions. It was so heartwarming to see our students bravely perform in front of their whānau and friends and share their musical progress.

I would like to thank all our dedicated music tutors and the fantastic admin team (Cheryl, Gillian, Anne, and Hamssa) for their phenomenal work this year.
From all of us at Lewis Eady Music School, we wish you all a rejuvenating summer holiday and look forward to seeing many of you back in 2023.
