From participating in local events to showcasing your talents in our vibrant community, our music and performing arts program opens doors to a spectrum of opportunities, ensuring that your passion for the arts is not just learned in the classroom but experienced firsthand. Join us on exciting field trips where you'll witness live performances and engage with industry professionals.
Let’s start a band, explore the Music of Aotearoa; attend The Big Sing! and learn about Musicians who changed the world. During performing arts, you may like to discover Behind the scenes; at Prequels and Sequels and From Broadway to the big screen! Make me a star! Here's a showcase of what Opihi students can do.
You'll continue your musical journey through itinerant music lessons, public and in-school performances and becoming musically literate. You'll also investigate two contrasting works of music and be participating in solo and group performances.
"Life is not a Rehearsal!" I'm a passionate, energetic and positive Musician, Musical Director and Educator with over 35 years experience in Aotearoa New Zealand's professional and community Theatre scenes as well as in education. I love what I do, and bring that energy into every project. Learning is a lifelong pursuit and I strive to pass that mindset on to everyone I work with.
Express your feelings and ideas about yourself!
The Music room is a space for you to explore your place in the world. Choose from plenty of instruments and receive tuition from expert teachers, or grab a microphone and see what opportunities could begin to grow your chosen skill set.
