Welcome to Russell Scoones Music
I am based in Auckland, New Zealand. My website will tell you about the various music activities I am involved in. These include my music therapy work, music for children, guitar lessons and music composition.
News:
October 2011. The music continues...
This has been quite a year so far. Tongues of Stone was performed in Perth in April. A strong work by Carol, Dorita and myself in the streets of Perth WA. See it here
We took MNEMOSYNE, a new work, to the Prague Quadrenniale in June 2011, performing for 10 days at the National Gallery to many people.
Auckland dance company Touch Compass toured our dance piece SLIP to Hastings and Wellington, receiving excellent reviews. See it here "remarkable".
Philadelphia based company Subcircle are about to premiere a new dance work, SEED, in collaboration with Carol and Russell at Philadelphia's Christ Church theatre in November 2011.
Music is so diverse. I am still holding CHILDREN'S MUSIC at One 2 One Cafe on Ponsonby Rd Auckland on Tuesdays 9.30 and 10.30. I am lucky enough to get asked to play at lots of kids birthday parties too, which are always lots of fun.
My work with the Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre continues.
Mt band THE VERANDAHS are making an impression on Auckland ears with our songs of life and love. Lots of great gigs around town recently. Become our friend at The Verandahs.
