Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All | Close All

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.

What can I expect to learn and experience at the workshop?

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.
Can I earn college credit?
Graduate credit is not available this year.
Is housing offered?
Yes, housing is offered. Housing options and prices are available HERE. Detailed information will be emailed to you a few weeks before the workshop.
Are meals offered?
Yes, meals are offered. They are included in your lodging fees. Meals include 3 breakfasts, 4 lunches, and 3 dinners. A great variety of dietary considerations are available in the Marketplace in Davies Center. NOTE: If you commute, meals will not be included in your registration but can be added with these options.
I live nearby. Can I commute?
Certainly! This option is available on the registration form as well. Sessions begin at 8:30 a.m. and last until 9:00 p.m. in the evening so please plan accordingly.  Note: Thursday is the exception with hours between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. An exact schedule will be emailed to you several weeks prior to the workshop. NOTE: If you commute, meals will not be included in your registration but can be added with these options.
When does the workshop begin and end?
Registration will begin at 8 a.m. on Monday with the first session beginning at 8:30 a.m. Remaining days begin at 8:30 a.m. and go until 9:00 p.m. Thursday will end at 4:30 p.m.
What should I bring to the workshop?
Instrumental teachers should bring scores of 6 pieces and choral teachers bring 6 copies of 5-6 pieces you are considering doing with your groups next year.

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.

What should I do before the workshop begins to prepare?
Reviewing the first five chapters of Shaping Sound Musicians will introduce you to the CMP planning process. Instrumentalists and any singers who also play an instrument should bring them for our “demonstration rehearsals.” Purchasing Shaping Sound Musicians is available through the registration form.
