The Specialist Music Performance Programme has been set up to provide the best possible standard of education, training and musical opportunities for children with high musical talent and potential.  It offers a seamless and co-ordinated progression of learning from junior primary school, through secondary school to university.  It offers children the stimulus of working with others of similar high musical calibre.

Four institutions situated in close proximity within Christchurch are co-operating to provide this unique opportunity for musically talented children. These are: Westburn School, Burnside High School, School of Music of the University of Canterbury and the Christchurch College of Education.
