Teacher Training Clinics

Clark Chaffee’s acclaimed and highly sought-after Teacher Training Clinics offer low-tech, high-impact strategies for rapid improvement in sight reading and repertoire development for orchestral string players. Through hands-on, in-depth experience, teachers will learn how to teach mastery of the “why” and “how” for great intonation and rapid sight reading on string instruments.

Designed for teachers at all levels of instrumental proficiency, these clinics provide opportunities to develop skills that can immediately be applied to classroom teaching and yield impactful, lasting results.

Testimonials

Holly

With 22 years of educating and orchestral direction under her belt, Holly attended a CCMP teacher training clinic in 2020, where she appreciated the hands-on experience. She was particularly moved by the fact that the materials emphasize that these methods are not intended to replace pre-existing curriculum but to enrich what teachers already offer in their classroom. She found it useful for students at all levels and uses it throughout her course materials.

Summer 2022 Clinic Teachers

During our two summer clinics in 2022, we asked several participants to share their reflections on their experience. Some were first-time attendees, whereas others have been to a clinic in the past and appreciated the opportunity to delve deeper into their experience with the Chaffee Core Musicianship Project.
