Every year we offer opportunities to perform in Music Recitals held at the end of each term - an informal way to start performing in front of an audience of friends and family, and to hear other Excite Academy students.
Our End of Year Concert is an opportunity for select students to perform in collaborative items across all of our Performing Arts disciplines.

Five years ago, nearly 40 years after that desire began, Excite Academy was born. I had spent those years bringing up my family, learning and teaching Orff-Schulwerk pedagogy, a creatively fun and playful way to learn music through singing, dance, movement, and playing instruments. Kim had spent her time doing a Visual Arts degree followed by her honours degree. And so our journey began as a mother daughter duo.
There have been many times over the 5 years where it has been hard going financially, but in Term 4 2020 we hit a crisis that threatened to close Excite’s doors very quickly. To keep our doors open we set up a fundraising campaign called Extra Miles for Excite using Pledge Me.
What followed was an absolute miracle with many stories. Together with out team, our families and the wider community we raised the $32,000 needed to get us through. We will be forever grateful to everyone who helped us.
We are honoured, privileged and blessed to stand before you today, and be able to open our doors this year with our new team for 2021. Together, we are going to emerge stronger than ever and keep our original dream alive - to be a one stop shop under one roof that encourages creativity in the arts for all ages, inspires passion, and develops critical thinkers in the visual and performing arts.
We look forward to another fantastic year meeting budding musicians, performers and artists that we can nurture, teach and impart our knowledge to, with our range of highly qualified, capable teachers assisting us to do this.
Welcome to Excite Academy for 2021.
Established in September 1974, by Helen Rimmer and the Glenfield Music Centre Incorporated Society Committee;
Violin classes are offered by Hastings Piano Teacher. Hastings piano teacher Wendy Hunt is the person for you. Wendy is happy to teach all, from young children to mature adults, from beginners to advanced students.Â
Students in our Violin School study violin in group lessons for five levels. All our violin students participate in one of our three string groups or three orchestras appropriate to their level.
Learning to play this instrument takes a certain level of maturity and development. That’s why we recommend children start one-on-one lessons from the age of 7-and-a-half onwards.
Violin classes are offered by Mauao Performing Arts Centre. Education is provided by industry professionals that perform and play within the community.
