Sistema Aotearoa provides free, high-quality music education to tamariki in South Auckland, with a focus on building strong communities through collective music-making.
Our programme begins in partner schools, where children take part in in-school music sessions. As they progress, students are invited to join our after-school orchestras, where they continue learning in a fun, challenging, and supportive environment. From their very first notes to full orchestral performances, our students grow in confidence, teamwork, and resilience.
We also offer:
Holiday courses that deepen musical learning and connection
Public performances that celebrate progress and pride
Family and whānau engagement to support every child’s journey
Instrument loans and resources, removing financial barriers to participation
At every stage, we use music as a tool to unlock potential, foster belonging, and raise up future leaders.
