Kia Ora ONZA Community

As we go into lockdown, inevitably, we need to inform you that ONZA is postponing all workshops and level courses that were to run in April and May.

It is our bright, positive and optimistic hope we can offer these at a future date.

We are exploring ways to support our amazing teachers and musicians during this challenging time. For now, jump on to our Facebook pages and let’s share as a music community, tips and resources that can help each other. Listen to some music every day and play some music every day to feed those artistic souls.

Keep an eye on our   Facebook page, Facebook group and Instagram.

In the meantime, take care, look after yourselves and stay in your bubble.
