The Ara Music awards are now open for 2022.

We are please to be working again with the APPA Executive to provide a not only financial support towards tuition fees and replacement instruments, but also giving young people public performance experience & feedback on their musicianship.

Young people who are eligible are:

• Living somewhere in the APPA region between Pukekohe and Wellsford.
• In year 5-8 classes.  Years 9 and over are not eligible.
• Have NZ citizenship or have Permanent Residency. Proof required.
• Have Grade 5 or higher in music exams. A copy of the certificate is essential.
