How to teach Ukulele

Thursday March 31st 4pm – How to teach ukulele – with Maria Winder and Mary Cornish from the NZ Ukulele Trust! and with contributions from the NZ Development Squad. During this session we will have a taster of the SSB music. Please note the cost of this workshop is not covered as part of the SSB registration, but we would highly recommend the workshop!

 Maori Culture in the Classroom

Following the uke workshop will be another fantastic workshop by Selena Bercic on “Maori Culture in the Classroom“. All funds raised from this workshop go to support her bringing her school down from Panguru in August to our SSB Festival! She is a highly recommended presenter. (She was a keynote at the MENZA ITM conference in ChCh last year).
