We are excited to return to the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) National Conference in Chicago from March 21–25, 2026, as the organization celebrates 150 years of excellence in music teaching! This milestone event is one of the most important gatherings for music educators in the United States, bringing together teachers, researchers, performers, and innovators from across the field.

The MTNA National Conference features pedagogy workshops, masterclasses, performances, and many opportunities to connect with other educators. As conference sponsors, we are grateful to be part of a community so deeply committed to advancing music education with care and curiosity.
