Connect with a Degreed Professional: Find Your Music Teacher
Choosing the right instructor is the most important factor in a student’s success. While there are many options in our area, membership in the Music Teachers’ Association of California (MTAC) requires a Bachelor’s Degree in Music (or its equivalent) from an accredited institution.
When you choose a teacher from our branch, you are guaranteed to work with a professional who has reached a high level of academic and performance competence. This ensures a foundation of excellence that retail music stores simply cannot provide.
