MTNA Collegiate Chapter of the Year

This annual award recognizes a collegiate chapter, which exemplifies outstanding self- and member-promotion and effective community outreach. The grant is to be used during the following academic year for educational projects. 

Application


Forming a Collegiate Chapter

Many of today’s music students look to their future with an uncertain eye at best.  College and university music training, while providing important pedagogical and performance experience, often does not address other important issues—setting up a music studio, the latest technological innovations and legal issues affecting the daily activities of an independent music teacher.  Where can hopeful future music teachers gain the knowledge to aid them in operating a successful studio and business?

Collegiate students can gain this important knowledge through membership in an MTNA collegiate chapter.  MTNA collegiate chapters provide educational, musical, social and professional experiences that augment the student’s formal course of study, acquaint students with professional opportunities and career options in the field of music, and develop professional leadership skills.  Collegiate chapters also provide an important opportunity for MTNA college faculty members to increase their participation in MTNA activities by becoming a collegiate chapter advisor.

MTNA collegiate chapters may be formed by an affiliated state association.  Each collegiate chapter must have a sponsor or advisor who is an active member of the state and national associations.  Students must be enrolled in a college or university to become a member of a collegiate chapter.
