WSMTA Chapters
(Local Associations)

What is a WSMTA Local Chapter (or Local Association)?

Each local chapter is an organization formed within an MTNA-affiliated state association by a group of active MTNA members interested in advancing music knowledge and education. Typically formed by teachers in a common geographic area, local chapters provide members with a direct connection to state and national representatives capable of assisting with local matters and a variety of MTNA programs and services designed to meet the needs of music teachers and their students.  

How Do WSMTA/MTNA Local Chapters Provide Opportunity?

• Local chapters represent the interests of professional music teachers in specific geographical areas.
• Local chapters provide expanded avenues for professional and personal growth, including the development of teaching, communication and leadership skills through MTNA local association grants.
• Local chapters sponsor performance opportunities which stimulate music students to accomplish and achieve.
• Local chapters assist with providing direction to members in an independent studio, multi-staff studio, college, university or conservatory.
• Local chapters work within the community to support and promote the awareness of the value of music education for all individuals.
