Teacher Membership fee or a renewal fee is due by March 1. (Those who renew their membership after March 1 will have to pay $10.00 late fee.)

Those teachers who did not become members before the competition is held, but have a winning student, will not have their name listed in the winner s recital program and will not receive certificates of excellence.

Teachers can only send a student to participate in various competitions if they have been teaching this student for 6 months or more, and only with new repertoire.

 

Membership checks MUST be sent in separately WITH the application form.  Checks that combine application and membership fees will be returned, and application will not be processed (late fees will need to be paid).  Membership fees without the filled out application will not be processed  (late fees will need to be paid).
