CONTINUING EDUCATION
Christchurch School of Music
The Christchurch School of Music is a family-oriented
community aimed at providing quality music education in and
around Christchurch.
We have an exciting offer for all new enrolments for 2017,
where you will receive $775 worth of lessons for just $450! All
you have to do is click here to enrol before January 15th, 2017:
http://www.csm.org.nz/enrol/
This deal includes: 1 year of group lessons for beginners on
recorder, flute, clarinet, violin, ukulele, guitar or voice (worth
$525), FREE instrument hire where instruments are available
(worth $110), FREE joining of a performance ensemble for the
second semester (worth $140).
We also have individual lessons and ensembles for a wide
range of instruments available too, for any age and from
beginner through to experienced - explore our website www.
csm.org.nz to learn more.
CSM is a not-for-profit organisation with a strong focus on
community. On a Saturday morning the whole family can find
something to suit. Preschool children can start their musical
journey by joining in our experiential “Take Off with Music”
while older children and adults may opt for group or individual
lessons on a specific instrument (including voice). Those who
already play are welcome to join in one of the great ensembles
which all take part in regular concerts including Saturday
soirees and the popular annual Showcase Concert. Recitals
where individuals can perform are also held regularly.
CSM also provides a comprehensive music education to
participating primary schools via its Outreach programmes.
With programmes offered in band, strings, recorder and ukulele
in a wide range of Christchurch schools this is an area of the
School, which has grown fast over the last few years.
Another area that has grown rapidly over the last few years
is the Late Starters programme where adults approaching
retirement with more time on their hands have really enjoyed
learning an instrument they never had the chance to play in
their early years and join an ensemble with other like-minded
adults.
If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also offers a range of
weekday opportunities for learning and playing music.
If affordability is an issue, CSM may be able to offer a
discount through funding provided by the Rata Foundation.
Please contact us via our website www.csm.org.nz and let
us start you on a musical journey that will bring pleasure for
a lifetime.
