By joining, you become allied with a very active Teachers group. We consist of teachers of all instruments, and all bring our various knowledge & experience to our most interesting meetings!! (Please see the calendar)
Dues are annual. They are $45, which includes 10 students, and $3 for each student thereafter. This allows you as a teacher to enter that number of students in as many Federation events as you desire.
Federation offers a number of events in a staggering number of instruments--including a national
Theory test! And students are working toward a separate trophy in each event!
As a member of MTGBR, each teacher also receives a free quarterly magazine from National. It is chock full of interesting teaching tidbits, scholarship information, and generally informative!
National also supplies all certificates, trophies, etc., which are paid for thru our Festival fees.
NFMC promotes American music, and has thousands of dollars of scholarships available. For example, the Young Artist Award (available to young adults) is worth $10,000. In addition, there are numerous awards available for almost any category you can think of, including summer camps.
After the 2016 flood, MTGBR members joined with other local music clubs by donating music and instruments to help music teachers who had suffered flooding.
MTGBR meetings are lively discussions about various aspects of teaching.
Our new President Avis Bickham has a most interesting year planned!! Our group is a most welcoming group. Many of our teachers have become good friends. It is a wonderfully supportive atmosphere in which we are able to discuss various teaching dilemmas and creative ways to solve them!
We welcome new members! Take the step and contact us!!
COME JOIN US-- you'll be glad you did!!
