Musicnet Summary to 29 October 2016
Kia ora tātou,
The 2017 Hook Line and Sing Along Competition was launched last week. This is the eighth year of the successful collaboration of MENZA, MusicWorks and the NZ Music Commission. The prize includes a $1000 travel grant to record it at the Roundhead Studios in AKL. So no excuses for those outside of Auckland!
These has been used as a great project to keep your students focused and engaged with a real-world goal in the last term. The website includes all of the previous winners to help provide some inspiration.

Teacher Registration issues and thoughts were shared. It would be great if we can now direct our energy to thinking about what a TER course for ITMs will look like and what should be included to ensure ITMs can gain full registration status, be up to date with current teaching practices and be well prepared for the range of roles they are often asked to do. Contact Tim or Celia directly if you wish to help with your 10 cents.
