Events Schedule
Dear Music Student Parents,
Your family’s private music teacher is a member of the Music Teachers Association of California (MTAC). The MTAC is a non-profit organization for private music teachers all throughout California.
Teachers have to satisfy certain requirements in order to obtain membership; most importantly, obtaining a degree in music. Having an MTAC certified teacher means your children are eligible to participate in the many performance opportunities and events put on by our local Santa Clarita Valley Branch.
Please review the event schedule below containing a brief description of the events our branch will be hosting this calendar year. There will be more events as they are planned so keep up with us on our website www.mtacscvbranch.org.
Most of our branch events are held at Little School of Music, 28306 Constellation Rd. Valencia CA 91355.
The Branch owns a beautiful Yamaha concert grand piano which is housed at LSM for all of our students to enjoy for years to come. Please let your teacher know which events your family would like to participate in.
Sincerely,
The MTAC SCV Branch Board
