Shaping Sound Musicians: Teaching Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance

The long awaited CMP Book entitled Shaping Sound Musicians was released at the 2003 WMEA Fall Conference and includes chapters that describe each point of the CMP model. It is designed to serve as a workbook for teachers to construct teaching plans. It will also contain some of the best examples of materials, innovative teaching ideas and resources developed and field tested by the CMP Project. The CMP Project is excited about a text written by music teachers, for music teachers.

Copies of the book may be purchased from the WMEA/WSMA office. GIA Publishing gives a discount on books ordered through the WMEA/WSMA office. We are able to sell them for 25% off ($30 instead of $40). Proceeds will go to support future CMP projects.
