Overview

Mission

KMTA is dedicated to helping each student experience the joy of music. Through its educational programs and activities, this organization will empower its members--teachers with high professional standards--to foster in students lifelong commitment to music as patrons, performers, teachers and hobbyists. KMTA will also work in partnership with communities across Kansas to insure that music is an ongoing, vital part of the cultural life. Our main purpose is to provide musical programs and activities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Fall conference for teachers in Kansas and Missouri was held at UMKC in Kansas City. Many educational sessions on teaching were offered over a two-day period, including a master class where students performed and worked with the conference clinician. The conference also included a performance by the conference artist/clinician.Another activity was a performance by a group that did the piece by our commissioned composer. We had a grant from MTNA to help us on this. Seventy KMTA people attended the conference, some for the entire conference, some for only a few sessions. Five students participated in the masterclass.

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
