Edward Twohig
Plato said “I would teach children
music, physics, and philosophy but
most importantly music, for the patterns
in music and all the arts are the keys to
learning". Twohig concurs and goes
further to say “There is an increasing
belief that a creative mind is equally
necessary in careers as diverse as
banking, law, medicine, politics and
divinity.” Head of Art at Wellington

together the pathways that connect
Music, Art and Creativity in a cohesive
and practical format.
