Onemusic New Zealand
Businesses who play music, like cafés, bars and restaurants, shops, hairdressers, gyms, dance schools, offices, on hold music, and more, need permission (a licence) from the music creators. In 2013, APRA AMCOS and Recorded Music NZ established OneMusic New Zealand. The OneMusic joint licensing initiative simplifies the licensing process for businesses, by offering single OneMusic licence agreements on behalf of APRA AMCOS and Recorded Music NZ. OneMusic represents the rights to play essentially all commercially released music from anywhere around the world. When you hear about music royalties, that’s what we do. Many music creators around the world earn an income by granting organisations, like ours, the right to collect and pay their royalties. After minimal administration costs all money collected is paid to our local and international music creators – songwriters, composers, publishers, recording artists and record labels. OneMusic licences allow music users to meet their copyright obligations to play our music in their business. We’ve done the hard work for you. Instead of you having to contact and get permission from every songwriter, composer, publisher, recording artist and record label, for every single song you play – you get a licence with us.

Bremner Music Ltd
Manufacturer of practice mutes for brass instruments-sshhmutes. Needing to practice at odd times and in odd places over the years, award winning cornetist Trevor Bremner saw a need for an effective practice mute priced to suit budding musicians and professionals alike. After several years of research the sshhmute is now in commercial production, resulting in the bst practice mute ever, out performing anything available on the market today. An advantage of the sshhmute design is the very small amount of back pressure it creates. This allows for better air supply, while still opening and developing the throat muscles. The mute remains in tune and accurate throughout the entire range.

Our mentors use their years of industry experience, to guide students to grow as artists, and to find opportunities in employment and further education. Each student is unique, with this in mind we offer a range of teaching models. All young people get one-on-one time with mentors, and we also run group classes such as Rap School, where students learn the rudiments of writing and recording hip hop tracks. We work with youth from all backgrounds, and our students come to the trust through various channels including; community groups, local schools, alternative education providers, walk-ins and Oranga Tamariki. All CTOA hubs are drug and alcohol free, safe spaces where people feel comfortable to be themselves and work on their craft. At CTOA we create a whānau environment, with many of our students going on to become apprentices at the Trust. We offer professional development for all our staff and students, with a focus on wellbeing. We also help students to book performances, at both a corporate and local level, and we make sure they are paid fairly for their time and talents.
