Teachers in school music ensembles (band; choir; orchestra) plan instruction that will lead to student learningmdash;learning most often focused on technical skill development. The value of teaching students beyond technical proficiencies toward a broader body of knowledge and understanding is supported by the literature. A model exists that is designed to lead to a broader experience in school music ensembles; involving a multiplicity of music learnings; technical proficiency; cognition; and personal meaning constructed by the student. The Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance (CMP) Model is a framework for planning instruction in school ensembles that promotes a holistic form of music learning. A detailed description of the CMP Model provides the foundation for a discussion of planning and implementation; as the model is enacted in the ensemble setting. The discrete planning points of the CMP Model are considered in relation to a broader context. Interviews are included as a contextual narrative piece to humanize the material throughout the book. By combining the theoretical foundations of CMP and its practical applications for the teacher; this book will be useful for scholars and persons involved in teacher education as well as practicing teacher-conductors.
