Who We Are
Kiwi Kids Music grew from the desire to promote and encourage the growth of music created by New Zealanders, for children and families. We are a charity formed to support NZ children’s music creators and to advance the potential of all our children to live healthy fulfilling lives.
If you are an aspiring children's songwriter or performer then check out the Kete section of our website which has lots of useful resources which we are constantly updating to help you learn from the experts and achieve your goals.
We are also a founding partner of the Kōkako Award for Best Children's Performance at the annual NZ Children's Music Awards alongside NZ Opera and the Auckland Philharmonia.
And if you have a keen interest in music for our Tamariki, whether you produce, record, write, perform live, teach or just enjoy sharing with your Tamariki. Come join us by clicking the link below.
