Abstract

The Toki Music School on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) is a unique and environmentally conscious institution that blends music education with an emphasis on sustainability. Founded by classical pianist Mahani Teave, the school provides free education in classical music and ancestral traditions, such as dance and ukulele, taught in the Rapa Nui language. The school, constructed from recycled materials like tires, cans, and bottles, reflects the island's values of preserving its past while looking towards the future. The school's mission is to make music accessible to future generations and promote love and care for each other and the planet. [Extracted from the article]
