MMTA’s fiscal year draws to a close on June 30, 2020. We have granted six MMTA Music Connect scholarships this year, and there are still funds available! If you have a student in need of financial assistance, please consider applying for an MMTA Music Connect Program grant. It is an easy process, and all personal and financial information is kept completely confidential.

We sincerely want to see these funds put to productive use for our students! MMTA’s Music Connect Program offers tuition-free instruction to qualified families who cannot otherwise pay for music lessons. This has become especially important given the extenuating circumstances surrounding COVID-19. Already, three of this year’s applicants presented with needs specific to the pandemic.

Please visit the MMTA website for more information and to download application materials. If you have additional questions, don’t hesitate to contact Alison Barr, MMTA’s Music Connect Program Chair, at musicconnectprogram@mmta.net.

MMTA believes that any child who has musical ability and interest in playing an instrument or singing deserves the opportunity to explore this talent. The MMTA Music Connect Program (MCP) offers music lessons tuition-free to students who have a demonstrated financial need and will study with an MMTA member in good standing. MMTA is thrilled to offer this program to our member teachers and their students! To apply as a Music Connect Program student or to recommend a student for study in your studio, please visit the MMTA website. Applications may be filed and processed at any time during the academic year.
