New this year! Join us for a one-day intensive studio teacher workshop on Monday, June 15. See brochure above for details.

Hundreds of Music Teachers from the Midwest (and beyond) and thousands of their students have benefited from these workshops!!

"With the CMP model, I will stop flying by the seat of my pants and be INTENTIONAL about my student's learning."

"This is the best graduate class I've taken so far..." "

I learned more about teaching music here than from any methods courses I had in college."
