About TMTA
The mission of the Texas Music Teachers Association (TMTA), an affiliate of Music Teachers National Association, is to advance the value of music study and music making in society and to support the professionalism of music teachers. TMTA is a nonprofit educational organization. Founded in 1886 and incorporated in 1927, it is dedicated to the promotion of high quality individual and group music instruction. Its membership includes around two thousand teachers in over sixty local organizations. All activities of the association are educational and promote the art of music. TMTA members enjoy professional activities sponsored by local, state and national organizations. These include the state and national conferences, both excellent opportunities for education and enrichment for members and students. Student Affiliate is a program of the Texas Music Teachers Association, established June 14, 1951, to provide musical experiences beyond those usually available through private music instruction. Student Affiliate offers numerous activities for students, including competitions, examinations, and performance opportunities and provides recognition for achievement in various phases of musical education for grades one through the collegiate level. All student activities of Student Affiliate are funded through the Texas Music Teachers Educational Foundation, which was established in 1980. The TMTA Archives are housed in The Texas Collection which is located in the historic Carroll Library building on the Baylor University campus in Waco, Texas, at the corner of 5th and Speight Streets. |
