Fiona Ingram

Fiona began learning her musical skills as a child, playing the piano and participating in kapa haka, where she learnt to harmonise and play the guitar. Twenty-five years ago, she moved to Nelson to study music on the Contemporary Music Performance course. Since then, she has worked as a performing arts teacher in intermediate and secondary schools. As a songwriter, she has performed her songs in Nelson and the top of the South Island at the Nelson Acoustic Routes folk club. In 2023, she wrote, directed, and produced the Clifton Terrace School show, based on the story of “Kupe and the Wheke.” Fiona teaches various instruments in private lessons and currently runs the Clifton Terrace School choir.
