4. Bringing the Affective to Life
Probably CMP’s single biggest contri- bution to music education is its famous elevating of the affective domain to an intentional outcome. In the CMP com- munity, the last 25 years especially has sharpened and refined the idea of the affective outcome and how to teach it, helping students draw deeper con- nections with great masterworks of music, with each other, and with their own interior landscape. Many teachers return to the summer CMP workshop year after year for the “boost” that cre- ating affective outcomes give to their teaching.
5. Restless Questioning
Rather than become a calcified and rigid methodology, the CMP model
has, by design, shown incredible flex- ibility and power to reinvent itself to meet changes in education. By now, several generations of teachers have found the model captures every new trend, methodology, or evaluation tool, and clarifies it. It also provokes deeper thinking and raises essential questions about every aspect of the teaching art. Like the kind of vacation spot you want to return to year after year, or a Mahler symphony that reveals new depths on every hearing, the CMP model sustains truly endless possibilities for teacher growth.
The CMP Model has been praised by nov- ice teachers and those near the end of their career. Many teachers attend the summer workshop multiple years, knowing that they will be in a stimulating environment with passionate teachers, always “close to the music.”
Plan to attend this year:
• CMP sessions at the Wisconsin State Music Conference (October 26–29, 2016)
• CMP Winter Workshop at the Wisconsin Center for Music Education (February 3–4, 2017)
• Gala 40th Anniversary CMP Summer Workshop, July 10–14, 2017 at Concordia University, Mequon

Without a doubt the greatest challenge in the CMP-oriented approach is to the teacher who must explore and prepare the music more thoroughly than ever before, and strive always to keep the larger picture of total music education in mind. In this challenge lies the satisfaction…
