General Information

• Interested in Developing More Meaningful Teaching Plans?
• Looking for Ideas for Finding Better Literature for your Classes?
• Need to Take a Workshop Where You Can Interact With and Learn from Other Teachers?

Join us for an exciting five- day workshop that includes:

• Explanation of the WI CMP model
• Demonstration rehearsals
• Small group discussions and sharing
• Handouts, book lists and sample teaching plans
• Faculty of public school teachers and university professors
• Participants who are teachers of band, choir and orchestra
• Wonderful facilities, good food and conversation

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."
