Welcome to our LOOPY TUNES ON TOUR – INFO PAGE!
Twice a year, in April, and then again in October, we have been touring different regions of our beautiful motu/country! During our week-long tour we spend most of our time running music sessions at local Preschools, will hold one or two public concerts for whānau and an evening workshop for educators of young tamariki. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to check out where we’ve toured so far and where we’re headed to, next!
For those new to our mahi/work, here’s a quick wee intro… ko Leah tōku ingoa, ko Siu taku teina, ko ‘Loopy Tunes Preschool Music’ ta māua pakihi. My sister and I are a children’s music duo, usually known as ‘Loopy Tunes’. We are Ōtautahi | Christchurch based and have been involved in children’s music for about 14 years now and are in our sixth year of running it as our full-time gig!
We love to create, perform, and release waiata that is intentionally bilingual and intentionally for younger tamariki. However, we also create waiata that the whole whānau can enjoy and have a wee kanikani to, too! For more info on what we do, and who we are, then check out our Artist Bio.
"Our whanau loved Loopy Tunes waiatas! We play their songs on our long drives and its fun for all of us. My 6 years old daughter is learning Te Reo Maori and she feels very inspired to see young whaine toa singing and expressing their art for tamariki"

"To see Leah and Siu perform in person was truly beautiful. Their voices, their music and their being was so uplifting and engaging for us all. Our tamariki engaged fully in the 30 minute session and we look forward to learning some of the waiata presented to us. We hope to see you back in Fairlie again soon. Ngā mihi nui."
