CHRISTCHURCH SCHOOL OF MUSIC<br />
2015 was a really busy year for the<br />
Christchurch school of Music with lots of<br />
exciting things happening. In september<br />
the school celebrated its Diamond Jubilee<br />
– 60 years of providing excellent music<br />
tuition and ensemble opportunities to<br />
thousands of Cantabrians.<br />
Other highlights of 2015 were working<br />
with G&a Creative to develop a new<br />
website, logo and brand for the school and<br />
the signing of a sponsorship arrangement<br />
with the University of Canterbury for our<br />
flagship orchestra, now known as the UC<br />
Christchurch Youth Orchestra.<br />
Most exciting of all, in December, the<br />
school moved back home onto the site of<br />
the old Music Centre. with the support<br />
of the Catholic Diocese, the school is<br />
housed in four portable buildings on<br />
the site adjacent to Catholic Cathedral<br />
College where all the instrumental and<br />
voice teaching takes place on a saturday<br />
morning and after school. The buildings<br />
will officially open on Friday 13 <strong>May</strong><br />
with a celebration to say thank-you to<br />
all the organisations that have supported<br />
us to get to this stage. Many hours of<br />
work have gone into fitting out the new<br />
buildings with furniture, shelving, storage<br />
and teaching materials to ensure it is a<br />
friendly, welcoming and efficient place<br />
for the school to operate from. Particular<br />
thanks to Creative New Zealand and Rata<br />
Foundation who have provided financial<br />
support for the fit out<br />
so along with its new branding, a new<br />
user-friendly website and a great new<br />
place to call home the CsM is in good<br />
heart and enjoying a fantastic year of<br />
music making in <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
From pre-schoolers to septuagenarians,<br />
the CsM caters for a wide range of ages<br />
and musical styles offering opportunities<br />
for group or individual tuition in all<br />
instruments and an ensemble to suit<br />
everyone. with orchestras, choirs, jazz<br />
and rock bands, world music ensembles,<br />
wind ensembles and concert bands every<br />
taste is catered for. all ensembles take part<br />
in regular concerts including saturday<br />
soirees and the popular annual showcase<br />
Concert, which will be held this year in<br />
the beautiful Isaac Theatre Royal. Recitals<br />
where individuals can perform are also<br />
