anticipate at least two more will participate in Fall 2016. This article describes what Auburn Music Education faculty are learning during this edTPA pilot process and how we are using that knowledge to integrate edTPA throughout our undergraduate music education curriculum in ways that are (a) meaningful to our music education students, (b) will prepare them to complete the edTPA process successfully, and, most importantly, (c) will be valid in terms of broader goals for our music education program. We decided to use Comprehensive Musicianship through
Performance (CMP) as a logical framework for integrating edTPA into our music methods courses. CMP involves Teaching “students to perform with a historical and theoretical understanding of the music and the creative process” (O’Toole, 2003, p. xi). Figure 2 shows the five basic principles of CMP in more detail.
Crosswalking edTPA Tasks with CMP Basic Principles
We begin with the music selection process (CMP), which overlaps with outcomes (CMP) and edTPA Planning Task 1. Our hope is that starting with the music will keep the process more authentic. Once the music is selected, the students engage in a detailed score analysis as a graded project, working from a score analysis worksheet with detailed directions covering the following topics:
=Marking Your Score =Melodic Considerations =Harmonic Considerations =Rhythmic/Time Considerations =Additional Part Examinations =Percussion Requirements – Instrumental Works (or
Choral Works with Percussion) =Specific Instrument/Voice Considerations =Text Considerations – Choral =Texture =Dynamics/Interpretation =Accompaniment Considerations – Choral =Complete the Score Analysis and Planning Chart as the basis for developing your Rehearsal Plan. (In Canvas
Files.) =Rehearsal Plans for Each Day – (Use the Lesson Plan

The next step is using a Score Analysis and Planning Chart, as shown in Figure 3, to help our students begin to
