Founded in 1885, the Michigan Music Teachers Association promotes and encourages the understanding, appreciation, and study of the art of music.

MMTA is an affiliated chapter of Music Teachers National Association which was incorporated in the State of Michigan on August 3, 1951.  The membership consists of independent music teachers, college and university students, and professors. 

For well over a century, MTNA has been the backbone for a collaborative community of music-teaching professionals, connecting both the seasoned educator and those at the beginning of their career.

MTNA membership does more than simply complement your career as a music professional—it supports, supplements and shapes it. It empowers music teachers nationwide to become better educators through networking, leadership, mentoring and educational opportunities.
