President's Message 2018-2019
Dear SMTA Members and Sponsors,
Last year was one of growth! I’m thankful for our new members and their willingness to become involved. Last fall our state organization voted to eliminate the music degree requirement to open membership to any music teacher interested in being the best teacher they can be regardless of education background.!
I’m also thankful for long-time members who are rich sources of mentorship & leadership. You show us the ropes and are wonderful advisors, teachers & friends.
We can look forward to enjoying & learning from some wonderful programs with these wonderful people this year. I’m especially excited about having “The First Lady of Piano” Gail Smith to perform and workshop with us in November.
It’s my goal again this year to enable more of the music teachers in our area to take advantage of the many opportunities SMTA/FSMTA/MTNA membership offers them and their students:
Composition Contest
Recital opportunities
Student Day
Meetings/programs that are informative
Student scholarship opportunities
Competitive events
Collaboration opportunities with fellow teachers
Fellowship/friendship
Association with Florida Federation of Music Clubs
I believe many area music teachers are unaware of our organization’s existence and the benefits & opportunities SMTA membership. Some may need financial assistance to participate.
Thank you for trusting me with the responsibility to lead SMTA this year and for all the pledges of support. I have been blessed by my association with all of you and intend to be a blessing in return.
