President’s Message

 

Welcome to the Palm Beach County Music Teachers Association (PBCMTA) online community! As an established local affiliate of the Florida State Music Teachers Association and the Music Teachers National Association, PBCMTA has been supporting excellence in music education since its founding in 1942. 

​

As PBCMTA members, we support musical growth through student scholarship competitions, music theory and performance assessments, non-competitive showcases, and much more. We also benefit from valuable state and national resources, professional networking, and lasting friendships built through our shared passion for music.

​

As your new President, I am honored to introduce an exciting new initiative starting in the summer of 2026. We will provide our students with the invaluable opportunity to perform internationally in La Spezia, Italy. During this enriching experience, students will participate in master classes, receive expert instruction, and perform in prestigious venues. If the participating students are minors, they must be accompanied by at least one parent or guardian. This unique international opportunity will greatly enhance their musical growth and academic curriculum. More details to come.

​​

Thank you all for your passion for music and your invaluable contributions to music education. I look forward to our continued growth and success together.

​

Sincerely,

Dr. Barbara Salani
