  • MMTA State Conferences, held yearly, bring artists and presenters of national caliber to Missouri.

  • MTNA Certification validates your studio teaching credentials for students, parents, and community members.

  • MMTA Notes and MTNA's American Music Teacher magazine bring teaching ideas and research into your home, keeping you abreast of current trends in music teaching and connected to the state and national music teaching community.

  • If you are a music student at a college or university, many Missouri colleges and universities have Student MTA Chapters. If your school does not have a chapter yet, please talk to us about forming one!
