We’re three months into the official launch of MMTA’s Music Connect Program, and we’re proud to say that four students of MMTA members have been granted tuition assistance! We are happy to offer grants to these students and their families who have real and pressing needs that make it otherwise difficult or even impossible to pay for lessons. MMTA’s Music Connect Program offers teachers a reimbursement rate of $40 per hour of teaching. There is still a small amount of grant money available for the rest of the year. Please visit our website or contact Alison Barr at musicconnectprogram@mmta.net for more information. Thank you to MMTA’s Music Connect Committee members Alison Barr, Valerie Stark, and Dorothy Travis for their hard work deliberating on applications and helping to refine the program during its first year of operation. Also, a big thanks to MMTA President Ellyses Kuan for her unfailing support!
