The Centre for Music and Performing Arts (or CMPA) is a specialised department of the Colchester Institute. The centre caters to all kinds of performing arts, including classical music, jazz and popular music studies, vocal instruction, acting and musical theatre.

Graduates of the Music Diploma and Degree have gone on to schools such as the Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, Royal Northern College of Music and the Guildhall School in London.
The centre offers a range of qualifications for people wishing to train in the Performing Arts including the specialised BTEC National Diplomas in Music Practice and Performance, for those wishing study intensively before going to specialist universities and colleges.
