CSM is a not-for-profit organisation with a strong focus on<br />
community. On a Saturday morning the whole family can find<br />
something to suit. Preschool children can start their musical<br />
journey by joining in our experiential “Take Off with Music”<br />
while older children and adults may opt for group or individual<br />
lessons on a specific instrument (including voice). Those who<br />
already play are welcome to join in one of the great ensembles<br />
which all take part in regular concerts including Saturday<br />
soirees and the popular annual Showcase Concert. Recitals<br />
where individuals can perform are also held regularly.<br />

in a wide range of Christchurch schools this is an area of the<br />
School, which has grown fast over the last few years.<br />
Another area that has grown rapidly over the last few years<br />
is the Late Starters programme where adults approaching<br />
retirement with more time on their hands have really enjoyed<br />
learning an instrument they never had the chance to play in<br />
their early years and join an ensemble with other like-minded<br />
adults.<br />
If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also offers a range of<br />
weekday opportunities for learning and playing music.<br />
If affordability is an issue, CSM may be able to offer a<br />
discount through funding provided by the Rata Foundation.<br />
