Local Associations
|
|
|
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!
