University Students

Collegiate membership is open to all full time college music students. Collegiate members are entitled to attend programs of the Association upon payment of the registration fee and receive the official association publications.

The collegiate membership year runs from October 1 through September 30.

The collegiate chapters of TMTA exist to inspire and stimulate future music teachers and performers by providing a network of social exchange with peers. Collegiate advisors and local members provide students with a professional exchange to foster exploration and innovation in a rapidly-changing musical world. With a long tradition and experienced members across the state, TMTA is invested in providing support, guidance, and mentoring to the future leaders of our industry. We also listen and want to learn from you. Join us!
