Team, for those that are still keen to keep up their learning with Kapa Haka we've found some good resources online. This tutor has been posting up some resources . You'll have to have a Facebook account to access it, so you might have to share yours with your learner. Not all are our songs however Matua Whaitiri is an incredible teacher that I'm sure the learners will utilise. Follow him on Facebook. He's being very ambitious but is posting daily at the moment. We'll put some of our own resources up for the group when we get the chance. Still trying to find our feet with working from home and setting the kids some duties.  Bryan
