3 MUSIC TEACHERS ASSOCIATION N W T The Music Teachers Association NWT (MTA) is a not-for-profit organization whose objectives are: a) To foster and encourage the study of music and music theory in the NWT; b) To provide professional contact and support to NWT music teachers; c) To maintain an established examination centre in the NWT to allow music students to progress through standardized examinations (both performance/practical and theory) d) To encourage opportunities for students to have educational performance opportunities in various music disciplines. We support music teachers in all disciplines, including piano, voice, violin, and woodwinds, as well as music theory and history. Ages and abilities taught range from the very young, through music and movement style teaching, to the guiding of semi-professional musicians. We support school music teachers at all levels. Beyond being involved with their own students, Music Teachers Association members are involved in fostering music excellence and appreciation amongst their pupils and themselves. The Yellowknife Music Festival was started by Classics On Stage Yellowknife (COSY), lead by Susan Shantora, who organized the first festival in COSY would continue to produce it for the next six years until MTA-NWT took over in Instrumental Adjudicator, Mark Thompson is a passionate music educator dedicated to promoting growth in individual artistic endeavours.
