Taonga Pūoro – Māori Musical Instruments Y1-6
The inspiration for this experience has evolved from the works of the late Hirini Melbourne and Richard Nunns.
This experience is fully interactive!
This can be an outreach programme, held in classrooms, school halls or libraries, or held in the Lower Gallery of the NP Museum. (A large screen / tv is required). This can be delivered to whole syndicates (45mins) or for a 1 hour hands-on experience in individual class groups. If you come to the museum you will also view our beautfiul collection of Taonga Pūoro in the regional gallery.
The Educator brings a variety of musical instruments to demonstrate and discuss.
The musical whānau of Papatūānuku, Hine Pu te Hue, Hine Raukatauri, Tāwhirimātea and Tāngaroa are all explained and demonstrated through the playing of the instruments.
Audio-visual clips and stories are also woven into the delivery of the experience, as well as sound clips from Richard Nunns and Hirini Melbourne.
Ākonga have the opportunity to touch many supplemantary instruments and to play many.
They are able to play a song together at the conclusion of the experience. (Class groups only)
Highlighted Tāonga Puoro Māori are the Porotiti, Putātara, Poi, Kōauau, Hue, Purerehua.
