What you should know about Nelson School of Music
You can read a resume about the istrative staff and Board members who manage and govern the School. The School was established in 1894 and you can read a potted history about how it has evolved and developed over 120 years. Our rules have recently been changed to enable Nelson City Council appointments, a prerequisite to the strengthening and redevelopment work, being largely funded by the Nelson City Council. The settlers came to Nelson in 1842 from a country rich in music, both folk and formal, sacred and secular, for in the 1840’s Britain enjoyed a far higher degree of musical literacy than she had in the 20th Century.
In the following year an Amateur Musical Society was formed and performed some concerts. At that time the Society’s trustees included two men who, with Balling, were destined to create the School of Music that we know today. The institution of the School of Music was then formed on a small scale, but Herr Balling made the most of the opportunity. As her potential blossomed, Major began travelling weekly to Ponsonby in Auckland, where she received further tuition from Dame Sister Mary Leo at St Mary’s College Music School.
He was born in 1952 in Timaru, and began to learn piano at a very early age. Clare has also worked for the Adam Chamber Music Festival since 2008 and became Chamber Music New Zealand concert manager for Nelson in 2012. Roger was educated at Nelson College and University of Canterbury graduating with a BA and MCom. Roger is a director of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, a council member of Victoria University of Wellington and director of Port Taranaki Limited. He is a trustee of the Adam Chamber Music Festival and a former member of the QE11 Arts Council and the Royal New Zealand Ballet Company.
Mark has had involvement in the arts since 1972 as an event and festival organiser, theatre manager, craftsman woodturner, and occasional musician. In his spare time he installs projection and sound systems and provides design consultancy to cinemas. She spent most of her working career in education, teaching at primary and secondary schools to senior management level and lecturing at Auckland College of Education. Louise Walsh grew up and was educated in Wellington where a wide range of music has always been a part of her life.

The settlers came to Nelson in 1842 from a country rich in music, both folk and formal, sacred and secular, for in the 1840’s Britain enjoyed a far higher degree of musical literacy than she had in the 20th Century. When the coast of New Zealand was at long last sighted, a clarinet player and passenger on the Sir Charles Forbes, was so overcome by emotion that he sized his instrument and struck up, Oh Happy Land.
Once safely ashore the passengers were too busy to spare much time for music, but as routines became established, social music slowly came into its own. In the following year an Amateur Musical Society was formed and performed some concerts. In 1860 they had better luck with a Harmonic Society it survived for ninety five years. Its early archives have unfortunately been destroyed but we know that in 1861 it was holding concerts in the newly opened Provincial Council Chamber, and that in 1868 it could afford to build its own small Practise of Harmonic Hall, sited on what is now the forecourt of the Rutherford Hotel. An advertisement was placed in Germany, which was regarded as the musical hub of the world.
At that time the Society’s trustees included two men who, with Balling, were destined to create the School of Music that we know today. He was totally dedicated to music and a passionate worshiper of Wagner, firing his lecture audiences with his own hot enthusiasms. Four months after his arrival he was writing in the Evening Mail As a foreigner I am singularly struck by the prominence given to sport of all kinds, even to the extent of legal protection and encouragement And while Colonial youths take prizes in athletics against all comers, our musical students must at great cost proceed to Europe to learn even piano playing efficiently. With so much time and money for sport, we may resolve to reserve a little for higher things such as music.
His letter goes on to plead for the formation of a modest school of music which he would be glad to direct. Fortunately for us the couple were weatherbound in the Ball Hut, for Balling took this opportunity to thoroughly indoctrinate his companion with Nelson’s urgent need for a music conservatorium that Cock became a fervent convert.
