Singing FUN-DAMENTALS
Think you can’t sing – but would like to? It’s amazing how many people in our singing community have been told they can’t, or shouldn’t, sing. Have you always wanted to sing, enjoyed singing and been told you can’t. or want to sing, but the prospect seems a little daunting…
All Together Now is a group of singing communities where we warmly welcome singers of all backgrounds and abilities. We provide great songs and excellent teaching, so that we can make beautiful music together, with lots of fun and laughter on the way!
This year we have started a new choir - FUN-DAMENTALS - for everyone who would love to sing in a choir but doesn't think they can sing, or wants to know a bit more about singing and choirs first, or just wants to build some confidence.
This is a low-pressure, no-questions-are-stupid, no judgement, come-and-give-it-a-go group. You can transfer from this one to another of our choirs later on, or stay here forever - it’s up to you!
Unlike our other choirs (where we only have Open Nights at the start of each term) you are welcome to come along at any stage – though we do ask you to *register* first, so that we have the resources to welcome & support you.
Fun-damentals
Venue: Mt Eden Normal Primary School Hall, corner of Valley Road and Sherbourne Road
Time: Tuesday 7.15pm to 9.15pm
Choir Leader: Claire Caldwell and Kate Bell
Register through our Join a Choir page, select Fun-damentals, and we'll be in touch!

At All Together Now, we believe that singing is a learned skill so we welcome people at all stages of their singing development.
If you love to sing, or think you would love to sing and genuinely want to learn, our choirs are for you! We aim for a high musical standard, and we provide skilled teachers and great support to help everyone get there together.
As well as the opportunity to learn to sing well, our choirs offer great fun, a sense of community within each group and the wider organisation, and a way to contribute to our local communities by fundraising for charity.
Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.
Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

One Good Kiwi - Nuturing Families
kia ora lovely neighbours
I finally worked out how One Good Kiwi works - onegoodkiwi.one.nz...
"We like to think of One Good Kiwi as a digital koha
that can only be spent on others"
similar to Z's 'good in the 'hood' - you get FREE tokens to donate to a charity of your choice ... FREE to sign up, FREE tokens - you get to choose what charity or charities you would like to support... a real win-win-win (win-win-win...)
me, I spent most of my FREE credits this month on Nurturing Families - a local charity - based in Henderson
Nurturing Families (re-branded from Mummies in Need in 2023) - set up by a lovely young woman (oh! when she was 12, wow -!) - that helps - well families in need
this is from their website: nurturingfamilies.nz...
"Nurturing Families acts as a crisis support agency to help with material aid when a child or baby is at risk or suffering. We primarily work through agency requests so you will need to get in touch with a/your midwife, Plunket nurse, support worker, social worker or case worker and ask them to email a referral after assessing your need."
"We work closely alongside organisations such as the NZ police, Work and Income, Family Success Matters, Family Start, Midwives, and many independent schools, midwives and social workers to provide those in hardship with the basic essentials."
westies making waves of positive change again - awesome !!!!
one of the options this month on One Good Kiwi - to donate FREE credits to them - ALL great charities
so you can HELP them that way
and/or...
if you have some spare time, even an hour or so a week, a fortnight - maybe consider giving them a hand - every time I drop some things off they are so so busy - they really could do with a few more volunteers
it's a handy location - 6/42 Henderson Valley Road, Henderson, only parking is tricky, advise parking on the street - Hours: 9-2 pm Monday-Thursday
and with the greatest of love & respect - SHOW up if you do want to lend a hand (that is my message, from me - I emailed them, no response - TOO BUSY to respond)
