Te Raukura ki Kapiti
We are very grateful to Te Raukura ki Kapiti and Kapiti College that hosts the KMC and nurtures our special community we have in Kapiti, and we look forward to a great year ahead of learning, playing, and performing. Please respect this building as it is a communal space. Please, no running around and to be quiet when arriving and leaving. Thanks.
Please use the Main Entrance at KPAC – not the college one as that might be locked.
Refunds and Invoicing
Invoices have been sent out via email.
Refund Policy – Full refunds are available until the 28th of March 2025. Withdrawal notification needs to be made to the Centre Manager in writing to enable the refund to be processed. Withdrawals after this date cannot be refunded as the class compositions will have been established for the year.
Enrolments
If you are a returning student to KMC it is important that you enrol fresh at the beginning of each year regardless. Please make a note that it is not an automatic carry over and sometimes, if the tutor gets contacted directly, important information gets excluded from management. Thank you.

Concerns:
If you have concerns or questions about your child’s lessons, please contact their tutor in the first instance. If for any reason you are unable to speak to their tutor, please contact the Manager.
Thank you and remember to encourage your children to keep practicing. Little and often is the best method but also to enjoy this gift of learning and playing music.
Warm regards
Amanda Kemp – Manager
