Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance (CMP) – Winter Workshop

August 19, 2022 By dmenk

This hands-on workshop presents the Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance (CMP) model of music teaching and performance.  Participants will explore the points of the model (selection, analysis, strategies, outcomes, and/or assessment), participate in demonstration rehearsals using CMP, and will explore teaching plans implementing these points in a music classroom.

This professional development is designed to give autonomy and agency to music teachers to use the CMP model as it best meets the current needs of their students. The goal is to empower teachers to be their own spokesperson for CMP in their classrooms. Studio teachers, elementary and secondary general music teachers, band, choir and orchestra teachers are all welcome.


Dates and Times:
January 27, 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. and January 28, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Location: Wisconsin Center for Music Education at 1005 Quinn Dr. Waunakee, WI 53597
Instructors: Members of CMP Project committee.

New Edition Available Now!

January 2023
“The Joy of Teaching”

Music educators often deem the “joy of teaching” as their number one reason for entering the profession. From sharing meaningful new ways of connecting with students to celebrating overall successes in and outside the classroom, this issue is all about ways of finding joy (again) as a music educator.

An educational collaboration by WSMA and PBS Wisconsin Education

Re/sound: Songs of Wisconsin
In a state-wide survey and listening sessions with music educators, we learned about the need for current, authentic, culturally diverse resources, as well as support in teaching with and about music from different cultures. This multimedia collection for general music programs serving grades 4-8 includes video interviews with Wisconsin musicians, performances, audio files, and educator engagement guides designed to help activate the media with learners.
