About Us

The Muse is a charitable trust, based in Otautahi, Aotearoa (Christchurch, New Zealand). Run mostly by volunteers with contracted tutors and some contracted support staff, we welcome involvement at every level.

What We Do

The Muse hosts classes, choirs and ongoing music groups covering a wide range of musical styles.

We also provide a library of instruments and teaching resources, mentoring for emerging music teachers and networking to help people find each other. (Ie, learners & teachers, singers & guitarists etc.)

The Muse also has several studios for hire at a nominal fee. We have good quality acoustic pianos, and also Macintosh computers, with USB keyboards (pianos), running Sibelius scoring software, Band in a Box (for creating backing tracks for practise) and Practica Musica (Ear training and musicianship training software.)
