School of Music
The Christchurch School of Music is a family-oriented
community aimed at providing quality music education in and
around Christchurch. The school has been an important part of the
Christchurch music education scene for 64 years so why not come
along and join us?
CSM is a not-for-profit organisation with a strong focus on
community. From ages 2 to 92 we have something for everyone.
On a Saturday morning the whole family can find something to
suit.
For the young ones there are pre-school and junior school classes,
“Take Off with Music”, 41/2 year olds can start on Suzuki strings
and at 6 the recorder is a great instrument to learn. In 2019 we have
a fantastic deal for beginner recorder players – just $52 for a year of
tuition and this includes a recorder and a book!!
Older children and adults may opt for group or individual lessons
on a specific instrument (including voice). With six orchestras,
two concert bands, a Big Band, a jazz combo, 6 wind ensembles,
rock bands, two choirs, chamber groups, a samba band and a guitar
ensemble there is an ensemble to suit all levels and all ages.
If affordability is an issue, CSM may be able to offer a discount
through funding provided by the Rata Foundation.

Papanui High School
As the weather gets warmer and the evenings get longer it is the
ideal time to get out of the house and learn something new and
meet some new people by taking part in one of the wide range of
nightclasses on offer at Papanui High School for Term 4 beginning
from Monday 21 October.
From Art to Yoga and everything in between we are sure regardless
of your age or interest you will find something to tempt you.
Classes at Papanui High School are held in a warm, friendly relaxed
environment and our tutors are supportive and well qualified in their
chosen fields.
We have a range of short Cake Decorating classes on offer for Term
4 covering different aspects of this craft. You will be able to learn to
decorate Christmas cupcakes, create icing roses, cover and decorate
your Christmas cake or learn how to make icing flowers, piping,
covering a cake and making a figure from fondant. These classes
are being taught by Adrienne Loffhagen and will be held at Papanui
High School on Monday night 7-9pm beginning from 21 October.
