- CMNC Board Announces Changes to
Membership - December 2010
The CMNC Board has re-examined CMNC’s membership
structure, to be sure that there is a good
relationship between the cost of membership and
benefits you receive, and also that our membership
structure contributes to the financial stability
of CMNC. Beginning December 1, 2010,
we will not be offering new life
memberships, family memberships, or initial
memberships at a reduced price. If you have
renewed for the current year with a family
membership, that will remain in place until July
2011, but after that date you and your family
members will need to become individual members. If
you are currently a life member, your life
membership will be honored, but we encourage you
to begin making an annual donation in lieu of
dues, in order to help CMNC. For those
joining for the first time or renewing, the only
membership level available is Regular Member at
$35.00.

Coached Sessions
Attendance
- Application for all days of the workshop is
preferred but not mandatory. Players of instruments
with an excess of applicants may be asked to attend
one day only. Players who cannot be accommodated will
be waitlisted.
- Please apply for the day(s) you would like, and let
us try to accommodate you.
- Unfortunately our venues are limited in size despite
the growth of our popularity. Applicants should
know that we consider all applications up to the
deadline date, but sometimes have to wait-list or drop
people to one day to manage instrument balance and
oversubscription.
- The workshop fee includes Saturday lunch, Saturday
dinner, Sunday lunch, and break refreshments
(depending on which days you attend.)
- Also indicate your availability for one or both
days.
Preformed
groups
- A limited number of preformed groups will be
accepted for the workshop.
- Minimum group size is a trio, but preference may be
given to larger groups, depending on the number of
applicants and available rooms.
- Groups must provide their own music plus a separate
copy of the score for the coach. Groups unable to meet
these requirements will not be accepted.
- All members of preformed groups must be listed on
the initial application and all applications must be
submitted, including payment, by the deadline stated
in the Workshop
Announcement.
- Changes to preformed groups present serious problems
and should be avoided. Members of a preformed group
that disbands will be assigned as individual
participants, if possible.
Meals
- The workshop fee includes your meals and break
refreshments for the days you attend. Please refer to
the Workshop Announcement
for meals included. Vegetarian meals are normally
available. If you intend to eat exclusively vegetarian
please select that option in your application so we
can advise our host of the number expected.
- Guest meals may be purchased with registration.
Request
- Please let us know your assignment
preferences (familiar
classic, unknown modern, specific composer or piece,
etc.) and any
other relevant personal preferences (assign with others from your area,
okay to group with multiples of oversubscribed
instrument such as flute quartet, etc.).
- We like
to know, although many factors influence our
ability to honor your preferences.
- You may also use this space for any other
comments concerning your application,
participation, improvement in your playing, etc.,
which you'd like us to know.
