Kahurangi MPC

A place of pride and ambition, Kahurangi School, a primary school in Strathmore Park Wellington, is committed to giving its students extraordinary experiences. One of the ways Kahurangi Friends supports the school is to help out with programmes the school and students would otherwise be unable to afford.

Outstanding professional musicians Rio Hemopo, of Trinty roots fame, and solo artist Estere Dalton are coming to our school to teach selected students how to use a digital instrument called an MPC. MPC's are used by many modern musicians and make it easy for the students to create anything from pop to drum and bass. Just having Rio and Estere in the school will be inspiring.

We are very grateful to Creative Communities, Wellington City Council and Creative New Zealand for providing a grant that covers the tuition for this pilot programme.

An MPC player costs over $1,000, but you can now buy an app for i pad for $10 that is just as good, don't you love modern technology? Check out the video on this page to learn all about it. The school has 18 new i pads, but we don't have the MPC apps.

We hope you can help by making a donation. We need $180 to buy 18 apps that we will have as a permenant resource in the school.

We'll post videos of the programme on our facebook page. So make a donation, like us, and follow the project. We are looking forward to sharing the results with you.
