Guitar & violin tuition

Stephen from Half Moon Bay

Hi. I tutor guitar & violin. My journey started with Suzuki violin at age 6 & guitar at 7. I have attained the NZSI (guitar), violin (distinction)-grade 8, ATCL (distinction) - a diploma in music performance. When I teach, I use the best of both worlds in traditional & Suzuki teachings & it seems this combination works well & unique. I know the learning challenges at a young age as I have been there before & in my teachings to all ages, I am patient/flexible. This year I am a school prefect. I teach at home (close to the Half Moon Bay marina, Auckland). My charge is only $25 per 30min which, it is below the market rate of $35 & $45. My email is: reuben182003@gmail.com

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
