What is the CMP Summer Workshop?A. While CMP originated as a planning process for teachers of performing band, choir, and orchestra ensembles, it now includes K-12 general music teachers and studio teachers of any instrument. The workshop includes presentation of the CMP planning model and examples of CMP applied to rehearsals as well as interest sessions related to current issues in music education.
A. This and much more…
- You will gain an understanding of the CMP Model for Planning Instruction through constructing a teaching plan using music that you would use in your own teaching setting.
- Participants will attend demonstration rehearsals/classes/lessons led by master teachers from all areas: band, choir, orchestra, general music, private studio and levels: K-12, college-university.
- A shared learning community with enthusiastic and experienced music educators from all areas – in one-on-one and small and large group settings.
- Special interest sessions exploring a variety of instructional ideas: new strategies, effective outcomes and assessments. A wealth of resources, materials, techniques, and ideas will get you ready for next fall.
Good repertoire can make your week at CMP an even richer experience—it is at the heart of what we do all week. Although we will spend quite a bit of time discussing what makes a good piece of music, if you have brought high quality music with you, you will begin the week that much further ahead. When in doubt, bring more pieces—the more music you have with you, the more chance that you’ll find a great piece to study.
You will need a laptop computer or tablet device with internet, email, and word processing software. We will share final CMP plans with one another at the end of the week via email, so please be sure you can access your email account via a webmail process.
