christchurch School of Music
Christchurch School of Music (CSM)
has offered high quality music tuition and
ensembles to Cantabrians for 65 years,
with many of its alumni now performing
in orchestras, bands and choirs across New
Zealand and the world.
“From an engaging preschool
programme to high quality adult tuition
and everything in between, CSM caters
to everyone aged from 2 to 92, whatever
their level of playing or singing” says Music
Director Celia Stewart.
It offers tuition in all orchestral
instruments, recorder, ukulele, guitar,
piano and voice, and musicianship classes.
A wide range of ensembles includes
orchestras at every level; two choirs; wind,
guitar and recorder ensembles; chamber
music; jazz combo; concert band; big band;
and rock bands.
CSM’s outreach programme takes tutors
into schools to offer strings, band, ukulele,
recorder and percussion tuition.
“The school is a place where all the
family can learn and enjoy being part of
an ensemble at their level,” says Celia “It
is always wonderful to see a mother and
daughter playing in the same orchestra.
There is a strong sense of community on
a Saturday with music coming from every
space.”
Saturday and after school tuition will
take place starting in 2020 at Linwood
College on the old Avonside Girls’ High
site on Avonside Drive.
CSM offers a range of performing
opportunities from solo recitals, regular
soirees to its annual Showcase.
“CSM has an important role to play,
regardless of whether students go on to
become professional musicians, or listeners
with a well-grounded knowledge and love
of music,” says Celia, who started at the
then Christchurch School of Instrumental
Music as a six year old and has worked in a
wide range of roles within the School.
The school has always championed the
recorder, a beautiful instrument in its own
right as well as a great starting instrument
so it is offering a very special deal. For
just $52 a year, students receive a quality
instrument, a tutor book and group tuition
with excellent tutors for the full year.
