About Us

Celebrating over 30 years of music and education, the Harrisonburg Music Teachers Association &  Piano Teachers Forum is a group of local music teachers in the Harrisonburg/Shenandoah Valley area. Our group consists of private studio teachers, music program teachers, college students and collegiate faculty. 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.
