MusicCPR is a free web-based platform to promote standards-based instrumental music education. MusicCPR aligns with four artistic processes found in National Standards for Music Education: create, perform, respond, and connect and their manifestations in state standards for instrumental music education (e.g., New York's Arts Learning Standards, Virginia's Music Standards of Learning).

We provide teachers with research-based and standards-aligned tools for facilitating and assessing individual students' music learning. These tools connect with established repertoire on state music education association lists, as well as newly commissioned repertoire that highlights underrepresented musics and composers.

MusicCPR is housed at James Madison University, in a collaboration between the Department of Computer Science and the Office of Creative Propulsion with collaborators at University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music and in University of Delaware's School of Music. MusicCPR's development has been supported by these institutions, as well as 4-VA Collaborative and National Association for Music Education.
