About Us

Harrisonburg Music Teachers Association and Piano Teachers Forum

Around 1985, Lynne German and Patricia Brady decided to gather a small group of Harrisonburg piano teachers into a mutually beneficial organization (Piano Teachers Forum). Regular meetings allowed members to share teaching ideas, methods and materials. Then around 1995, Stephen and Carolyn Sachs, who taught piano at Eastern Mennonite University (EMU) and were members of VMTA,  combined forces with PTF and established a Harrisonburg Music Teachers Association (MTNA) chapter within the PTF. ​

Since then, the Harrisonburg Music Teachers Association and Piano Teachers Forum (HMTA-PTF) has celebrated over 30 years of music and education, working together as one unit in promoting the art of music and the advancement of music education for teachers, students, and the community. The HMTA is affiliated with the nationally recognized Music Teachers National Association. 

Our group consists of private studio teachers, music program teachers, college students and collegiate faculty in the Harrisonburg/Shenandoah Valley area. All music teachers are welcome.
​

HMTA-PTF events include presentations and workshops for teacher growth and development, learning and performing opportunities for students, and mentoring for collegiate, pre-professional music teachers.
