Institute of Registered Music Teachers of New Zealand | Ako Puoro
Want to Learn or Teach Music? We can help you!
The Institute of Registered Music Teachers of New Zealand (IRMTNZ) | Ako Puoro is Aotearoa New Zealand’s professional organisation for all private music teachers, established by an Act of Parliament.
We set standards for teaching and support music teachers to build and maintain professional, successful teaching practices, for the benefit of themselves and their students. IRMTNZ registration endorses you as a music teacher, provides a friendly collegial support network, essential professional development and student performance opportunities throughout Aotearoa NZ. Join us here.
Music is a fundamental part of most people’s lives. We enjoy listening to it and anyone can learn to make music, which has its own special rewards. IRMTNZ members are professionally and personally qualified to teach people to make music and do it well. Find a teacher here.
The IRMTNZ holds annual national conferences with noted presenters and great networking. We also offer a range of distance learning music teacher training courses. Members receive professional guidance and advice through our Code of Ethics and other key documents, including our Student Safety Policy and Privacy Policy. In its operations, IRMTNZ recognises Te Tiriti o Waitangi / The Treaty of Waitangi and the special place of the tangata whenua and te reo Maori in Aotearoa New Zealand.
