PRESIDENT'S REPORT

Dear AMTA members,


It is my honor and pleasure to serve our membership as the President of the Alabama Music Teachers Association. Warmest greetings to you and your family, students, and musical friends!


As you know, the Alabama Music Teachers Association (AMTA) is the state affiliate of the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) and we have about 300 members, including collegiate members. We are proud of our strong bonds and lifelong friendships and of the positive influence we are making on the next generations through music and music education.


We are here to support your professional success as music educators and performers, and to help you mentor your students. We want you to be excited and fruitful in your goals and work as you pursue your musical dreams.

We offer various opportunities for you to connect to passionate musicians, whether students or colleagues or guest artists and clinicians. For example, for your professional development you can attend workshops and conferences at the local, state and national levels which are brimming with ideas and connections. We also strive to encourage and motivate your students through auditions, competitions, recitals, and master classes with leading artists.


We encourage you to invite your musical friends and students to join our organization and participate in the auditions and events offered by AMTA, MTNA, and Local Associations.  If you have any further questions about membership or the upcoming national and state conferences and auditions, please contact any of us.


Sincerest thanks to our AMTA Board Members, District Chairs, Local Association Presidents, and many leaders and volunteers who are serving this wonderful organization. With your dedication and support, AMTA continues its impressive legacy and history. Thank you for choosing AMTA/MTNA!


I hope each of you have a blessed and fruitful year!


With gratitude,


Rachel Park,

AMTA President
