About

The Oklahoma Music Teachers Association is the state organization affiliated with the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA)The motto of MTNA is: “Working for a more musical tomorrow.”

In 1876, Theodore Presser and sixty-two of his colleagues founded the Music Teachers National Association with the purpose of advancing the value of music study and music-making to society while supporting the careers and professionalism of teachers of music.

Today, MTNA has cemented its role as an organization essential not only to the professional and individual well-being of music-teaching professionals, but also a vital partner in their growth and development.
