|
The Local
Associations provide an important networking
resource for the independent music teacher by
providing:
- Opportunities
for personal and professional growth including
the development of teaching, communication and
leadership skills.
- Opportunities
to network with other music professionals in the
community.
- Performance
and educational experiences for our students.
- Opportunities
to work within the community to promote
awareness of the value of music education for
all individuals.
To join a PMTA
Local Association you must first join MTNA and
PMTA. You can do so by visiting the MTNA
website. For more information on a local
association near you contact any of the Local
Association Presidents listed below. If there is
no Local Association near you email info@pamusicteachers.org
for more information on how to establish a group
in your community. We look forward to meeting
you!
