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 />
