WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
Because music plays a vital role in the human experience, we members of Edmonds Music Teachers Association provide expert instruction to students of all ages and skill levels. We share our passion for making music by creating festivals and special musical events that motivate and inspire students and spread music throughout our community. We proudly offer our members a welcoming and inclusive environment in which professional development is valued, volunteering is lauded, collaborative decision making is the norm, and networking opportunities abound.
