Reo another string to Maxwell bow
Musician Warren Maxwell is starting a new career teaching te reo Māori at UCOL’s Wairarapa campus.
The multi-instrumentalist and composer say he started learning more than 20 years ago when he was in Trinity Roots, as a way to reconnect with his whakapapa.
He graduated yesterday with a level 4 New Zealand Certificate in Te Reo (Bilingual), and he credits UCOL tutor Mike Kawana for his laid back approach and his sharing of Wairarapatanga.
Maxwell brings plenty of teaching experience to his new role, as he is also an associate professor of commercial music at Massey University in Wellington.
