Compositions

‍

We can compose a waiata, haka, karakia or other Māori cultural items tailored to your organisation’s staff, work, principles, values, and clients. We will discuss with you the relevance and appropriateness of your intended use of the item before we agree to undertake the work. These bespoke compositions will include:

• Lyrics, translation, chords (piano and/or guitar) and explanation
• Audio file
• Complementary actions and/or guitar or piano chords (if required)
• Tutorial to learn and practise the item (if required)

The benefits of your organisation having its own item are multi-fold:

• The item will align specifically with your brand identity
• No other organisation will perform your item at internal or external events
• No more performing well known items that are overused
• The item will be a tangible contribution to developing your unique culture

Cost: $1995 + GST for lyrics, translation, chords, explanation, and audio file
$295 + GST additional cost for actions
$495 + GST additional cost for a one-hour tutorial
