Rainy Sunday

Kia Ora from a rainy Nelson.

It’s been an inside day today, so I’ve been working on a new song and some light admin tasks.

The term is ticking on, and time is getting closer to The Nest being open, and me focusing solely on my own work for the next year.

Outreach for Term 1 is now full, but if your organisation has a request for music therapy, now is the time to book for term 2.

This year has been such a learning curve for me - I really recommend anyone that is thinking of opening a business - do not underestimate the organisation process!

I’m really excited to be taking this next year to grow The Nest and to work on lots of songs and resources - keep an eye out on my YouTube channel for an introduction and a tutorial or two soon.

Stay dry and warm!

building something safe, secure, and sustainable

First off - Thank you for visiting my site! It’s been a big learning curve setting this up - and it’s been a massive journey getting to this stage in building this business baby

This year has gone SO fast and has been filled with work, family life, writing songs….I’ve actually written SO many more songs than I usually do. this whole journey has been so inspiring, and so good for my creativity - I look forward to much more of it next year!

There are so many more things to explore and a lot of tips and tricks I am picking up along the way, but I have been so well supported by my family and my community, that I feel that what will grow is going to be so special. Here is to the next few weeks - filled with funding applications, emails and meetings - and music!

Here is my latest recording - Rowboat. It’s a movement activity. Grab your partner, be creative, make waves and row FAST!

Ma te wa - bye for now!
