Kia ora everyone!

Thank you so much for your interest in our Thursday Tron Songsters Children's Choir at 5.30-6.45 at Nawton School Hall.

We're really excited to get this choir underway! Unfortunately, we don't quite have enough enrolments yet to begin rehearsals.

As soon as we have sufficient numbers to create a vibrant choir experience, we'll be in touch with an update. We appreciate your patience and hope to welcome your child to the choir very soon.

Thank you again for your support. We can't wait to get singing together!

We are starting up another choir in Hamilton West on a Thursday night 5.30pm - 6.45pm.

If you have a child who loves to sing, or you're looking for a fun way to build confidence, friendships and life skills, give Tron Songsters a try.

We're creating local communities where children:

Build confidence
Make friends
Learn empathy and teamwork
Experience a sense of belonging
Develop musical skills
Connect with others through singing

Singing is the vehicle; character is the destination.

✨Inside the Choir: See children finding their voice at Tron Songsters. ✨

At Tron Songsters, children discover so much more than music. They build confidence, form lasting friendships, and develop their musicianship in a fun, supportive environment. Many of our choir members tell us they love singing in harmony and feel more confident and socially connected since joining.

Emilia is one of those children. Her mum shared:

"Emilia has grown in both singing and self-confidence by being a part of the Tron Songsters. She has made new friends and is constantly singing at home. It's been brilliant watching her grow and stand up to sing in front of hundreds of people at the BNZ Theatre opening! Thank you, Marieke!"

There's nothing quite like seeing children discover what they're capable of.

🎶 Want to see it for yourself? We'd love to welcome you to our next open rehearsal. https://wix.to/BokWjMf 🎶😊

♫ The Wellerman ♫

The Tron Songsters Junior Choir presents 'The Wellerman', a traditional New Zealand sea shanty that became internationally popular in recent years. Sea shanties were sung by sailors to coordinate work and build community during long voyages at sea.

Our Junior Choir (assisted by members of our children's choir) combine singing and action to capture the energy and teamwork of life on the ocean.

Performed as part of our concert 'The Sound of Water', this piece is conducted by Marieke Nation and accompanied on piano by Angela Smith.

🎶 In a world of AI... music is essential 🧠✨

Our children are growing up in a world filled with screens.

Screens teach children to watch.
To react.
To expect quick rewards.

But children also need opportunities to slow down, think deeply, create, and connect.

That's where music comes in.

When children sing, they're not just learning songs. They're engaging their whole brain.

🎵 They learn to focus.
🎵 They strengthen memory.
🎵 They develop language.
🎵 They regulate emotions.
🎵 They build confidence.
🎵 They learn to listen, cooperate, and work as a team.

Music turns children from passive consumers into active participants.

In choir, children aren't scrolling, they're creating.

They're watching a conductor, listening to those around them, adjusting their own voice, expressing emotion, and contributing to something bigger than themselves.

These are the very skills that will matter most in the future: creativity, communication, empathy, collaboration, and resilience.

At Tron Songsters, we believe singing is about so much more than music.

It's about helping children become confident, aware, connected, and ready for the world they'll inherit.

🎶 Singing is the vehicle. Character is the destination. ❤️

If you'd love your child to experience the benefits of choir, send us a message and come along for trial session at the Tron Songsters next term.

♫ Alleluia Gracia Deo ♫

The Tron Songsters Children's Choir presents Alleluia Gracia Deo a canon composed for 3 voices. The round is in Latin meaning 'Praise the Lord, Thanks be to God' and was composed anonymously.

The Tron Songsters often warm up with a round as its a great way to build vocal independence, active listening skills, and group confidence.

It naturally introduces harmony without the need to learn complex sheet music, while strengthening their sense of rhythm, memory, and connection.

Performed as part of our concert The Sound of Water, this piece is conducted by Marieke Nation and accompanied on piano by Angela Smith.
