Growing through music

$800 of $3,500 goal
Given by 10 generous donors in 11 weeks

Raising funds to support Amelia and Armand’s violin and viola lessons for the year ahead.

Bay of Plenty

For Amelia and Armand, music has become more than learning notes or practising scales. Through violin and viola, they’ve discovered confidence, discipline, and a way to express themselves when words fall short.

Playing music has helped them grow — not only as young musicians, but as people. It has taught them how to persevere, listen deeply, and share something meaningful with others. Their instruments are a place of joy and connection, and a big part of who they are becoming.

With the rising cost of lessons, this fundraiser will help ease the financial pressure on their family and allow Amelia and Armand to continue learning and growing through music. To help make this possible, they are hosting a small fundraising concert where they will share some of their favourite pieces and talk about what music means to them.

All donations will go directly toward supporting their violin and viola lessons for the year ahead. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps keep music in their lives and supports their ongoing growth through music.

Thank you for believing in young musicians and for supporting Amelia and Armand on their journey.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
