Tēnā koutou . Nau mai ki te Puka o Mei , te puka whakatairanga i te Marama Puoro o Aotearoa .
Greetings . Welcome to the May Book , the official handbook of NZ Music Month .
The theme of NZ Music Month | Te Marama Puoro o Aotearoa in 2021 is Access All Aotearoa : Great local music for all New Zealanders – in every place , for every age & in every genre . We wanted to continue that theme in the May Book this year by focusing on the different support and initiatives that you can access across the motu .
We are especially pleased to share information about the Aotearoa Touring Programme which the Music Commission started in 2020 as part of the government ’ s NZ Music Recovery Package in response to COVID-19 . The Programme supports NZ artists to tour around the country , and encourages people to include regional dates and shows for all ages audiences in their tour schedules . You can read all about it on pages 9 – 12 .
Many copies of the May Book each year go to music classrooms across the nation , and in this edition ’ s Education section we are excited to share the sheet music for Katchafire ’ s Karawhuia / 100 and Kōrukutia / Bathe In The River , written by Don McGlashan . These two songs are part of the new TVNZ On Demand series Waiata / Anthems 21 , a seven-part short documentary series launched in NZ Music Month | Te Marama Puoro o Aotearoa 2021 , featuring seven artists from around Aotearoa who record their songs in te reo Māori . Music Teachers will find Notes on page 39 , and the transcriptions on the pages that follow .
Across the May Book there is information about many of the music support agencies and organisations in Aotearoa , explaining what they do and how they might be able to assist you . This year on page 29 , you ’ ll find Accessing Support : Who Does What - an updated diagram showing what the different contemporary popular music organisations do .
If you are looking for more information , our website has many articles from previous editions of the May Book in the Resource section – you can find these at : nzmusic . org . nz / resources
After a pretty unusual NZMM in 2020 , we hope you see and hear lots of local music this May – wherever you are , whatever your age , and whatever genres you enjoy – and we all continue to support local , stream local , follow local and buy local every month of the year .
