Teacher Membership – Why Join IMTA?



When you register as an active member of the larger Music Teachers National Association ($104), you’ll also see the additional option to register as a member of the Indiana Music Teachers Association ($25)*, which is the affiliated state branch of the MTNA organization. You may also join a local association near you (fees vary but are around $15)**. Joining a local is encouraged but not required.*
