A gap in the tertiary system is being filled once more. 

In 2023, Te Pukenga shut down MAINZ Music School, leaving a void for those wishing to study music. 

Alumni of the former school include award-winning musicians, artists, and producers like Joel Little, Gin Wigmore, and Tory Kingi. 

But as one door closes, another opens, and former staff are getting a new school up and running under the name ‘Let’s Go Music’. 

Co-Director Mark Baynes told Mike Hosking the programme is designed for career musicians – the certification being a first step into the industry.
