FROM OUR FRIEND, SHARON ARD
Greetings from South Arkansas Music Teachers Association-Online Chapter!  We are happy to invite you to join our growing local affiliate of MTNA and ASMTA. This group began meeting in September 2024.  Since we meet virtually, you can join us from anywhere. 
 
We are an association of friendly, supportive, and dedicated teachers of music.  If you are looking for a conveniently located local association, we are here for you. Our programs will be recorded and available to SAMTA members. Share this information with those who are already MTNA and ASMTA members looking for a local and those who are considering membership in MTNA and ASMTA. Sometimes just knowing a local group is available makes a difference in someone joining MTNA. We are already seeing people reinstate memberships, because they now have a place to belong.
