Welcome to AMET
Aotearoa Music Education Trust’s (AMET) purpose is to facilitate music outreach and education throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand. We run solely on private donations and pre-loved instrument donations. No government funding is received.
Our mission is:
To supply affordable, quality instruments to students
Offer financial assistance to facilitate all New Zealanders to access music education
Provide performance opportunities for students (currently offered in Auckland and Wellington)
We aim to connect people through music and provide young New Zealanders with tools that will serve them for a lifetime.
Piccolo Bass ("Little Bass")
Piccolo Bass is a school outreach programme based in Wellington. Our team encourages the highest level of music making in a secure, creative and supportive environment. Our students have access to high quality instruments and lessons with internationally acclaimed music teachers. We partner with schools to promote the double bass and create engaging education and performance opportunities.
