Taonga Pūoro are the traditional instruments of Māori. Last Friday, presenter Bob Bickerton presented his outstanding programme to students from Years one to nine, playing and teaching about multiple instruments. Bob’s presentation was very well received by students and staff. His knowledge and skill are recognised throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Bob writes: I feel deeply fortunate to have been touched by this ancient tradition of wonderful music and would now like to give what knowledge I have about the taonga back to communities.Kia tere atu ngā kapuaKia tīhore te rangiKia whiti te rāMā te hau ngā oro whakatangitangi o mua e kawe!Let the clouds fly away,Let the sky be clear,Let the sun shine,May the music of the past be carried on the wind!More information about this presenter can be found here: https://www.bickerton.co.nz/taonga-puoro
