Welcome to the blog for the Northern Virginia Music Teachers Association . [/fusion_text][fusion_text columns="" column_min_width="" column_spacing="" rule_style="default" rule_size="" rule_color="" class="" id=""] Through this blog, we hope to accomplish several things: To highlight and document the amazing programs we offer for both students and teachers throughout the year To keep students, parents, and teachers informed about upcoming events To highlight achievements of our students and teachers To provide insight for fellow teachers on a wide variety of teaching topics To provide articles of interest to the greater Northern Virginia music community. We hope the open format will help showcase the incredible benefits to being a member of NVMTA, and of being a student of an NVMTA member’s studio. If you are a student looking for a private music teacher in Northern Virginia, you can use our Find a Teacher search feature located on the home page.
