Highly recommend the Taonga Puoro Workshop. Maha & Ashley are amazing teachers & wonderful people. Not only do you learn how to make a couple of traditional Māori instruments but you also learn the heritage behind it, which is just as invaluable. You come away with professional-looking instruments and brimming with more knowledge & self confidence. Recommended for kids & adults alike. Will be back to learn more.
