Get Involved

Join our chapter, SMTA,

and Washington State Music Teachers Association (WSMTA), through Music Teachers National Association (MTNA).

As a member, you belong to a vibrant network of colleagues with whom to learn, perform, collaborate and grow your studio.

This organization runs with the support of our many wonderful volunteers- if you're still looking for a way to get involved, there is always a place in SMTA for you to help out, get connected, learn, and support music education. Ask a board member or email the office to see what might be a good fit for you.

SMTA welcomes new members, and we look forward to meeting you!

Details for pursuing MTNA certification:

MTNA offers a national certification program, intended to improve the level of professionalism within the field of applied music teaching while helping the public at large readily identify and connect with skilled music teachers within the community.

Common Interest Groups:

Common Interest Groups (CIGs) address members’ interests and needs directly, building on the extraordinary richness and diversity of our community of music teachers.

Our CIGs move SMTA beyond our monthly meetings, into members’ homes and studios all around the city, or online.

If you don’t see a group on a topic you’d like to explore, it’s easy to start your own! Just contact the CIG coordinator with your proposed topic.

Current Groups:

TBA for the 2023-2024 season.

Have something pertaining to teaching or professional development you’d like to discuss with other members? Why not start your own CIG? Your group can meet once, or regularly, in-person or online. This is a flexible way to learn more and connect with others on topics of interest.
