JAM Band is a performance-based course designed to help students reach their full potential as live musicians. It offers a unique opportunity for like-minded students to collaborate, create, and perform music in a supportive and creative environment.
Students will form bands, rehearse regularly, and develop skills in musicianship, stagecraft, and teamwork. They’ll have the opportunity to perform live at events such as Band Slam and other school/community functions. The course also supports original music creation, with access to basic recording tools and guidance on songwriting and production.
Whether you're a guitarist, drummer, vocalist, keyboardist, or any other musician, JAM Band offers a platform to grow your confidence, creativity, and performance skills—all while having fun with others who share your passion for music.
This course is a dynamic and empowering space where our tauira can thrive—celebrating Māori culture, identity, and creativity through the performing arts.
Students are encouraged to immerse themselves in every aspect of Te Ao Māori—from kapa haka, te reo Māori, and whakairo, to waiata, haka, and storytelling. The course nurtures both individual and group expression, allowing students to explore and perform in areas that resonate with them personally and culturally.
Opportunities include performing at school and community events, participating in Pae Rangatahi, Ngā Manu Kōrero, and other cultural showcases. Students can let their culture and creativity evolve in a supportive environment that honours mātauranga Māori, whanaungatanga, and mana motuhake.
