Chamber Music America offers a wide range of seminars and workshops for ensemble music professionals. At the monthly First Tuesdays seminars in New York City and at regional conferences around the country, CMA's professional development offerings range from one-on-one career consultations to interactive skill-development workshops for individual artists, ensembles, and presenters.

Sessions are held October through June, usually on the first Tuesday of the month, and focus on a wide range of practical issues critical to the working ensemble.
