Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance (CMP) Workshop

Registration for the ILCMP Summer Workshop is required. This workshop is led by Members of the Illinois Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance Committee.

This course will give music educators strategies and resources for more deeply connecting students with the music they perform. Emphasis will be placed on how to recognize and find quality repertoire (including by free and legal download), as well as how to make historically significant music exciting and relevant to students of all ages.

Using the five points of the CMP model as a springboard, students will participate in demonstration rehearsals, points of the model presentations, class discussions, and work in small group settings. By the end of the course, students will be expected to complete an in-depth CMP plan using the assigned format as well as develop and submit a reflective statement tied to the National Core Arts Standards for Music. Students who have taken a previous CMP Workshop will advance their skills in each area and focus on a new style of music than previously studied.

Instructors for this course are members of the Illinois Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance Committee.
