Each Branch organizes and administrates its own CM Evaluations, which may take place on one day or several days depending on each Branch’s participation numbers and facilities. As CM depends 100% on volunteers, participating teachers are required to fulfill Branch volunteer hours to help the Branch administrate CM during CM Evaluations. Please click on this link: CM Teacher’s Work Agreement and download, fill out and submit you form to Benny Yu. Beyond the minimum requirement, many teachers often volunteer their time throughout the entire year – before, during, and after CM Evaluations – to ensure a great experience for all teachers and students in our Branch. Volunteering at CM provides teachers significant benefits to their studio businesses as their students benefit from a high-level experience of service and programming, gain a deeper understanding of the CM program from different perspectives, and work towards a common musical goal within their local communities.
