WEBINARS
Join our themed webinars for a chance to hear from a range of guest speakers across a diverse range of topics from curriculum and planning to music resources. Usually open to members only, we also run a once-per-term SPOTLIGHT WEBINAR focussed on curriculum and open to everyone.
TEACH MEETS
The MTA’s Teach Meets are an open and inclusive forum for teachers to learn, share and ask. Meeting monthly, the sessions give you an opportunity to learn from a fellow MTA member as they present their best practice on a specific topic, followed by an open discussion for teachers to share ideas and ask questions in a safe, non-judgemental environment.
THE HIBBINS SERIES
The Hibbins series reviews three key set works per term, with guest panelists from academics to performers talking through the score, and opening up questions. These sessions are open to MTA members’ students.
ECT SESSIONS
The MTA offers a programme of support sessions for early career teachers (ECT) starting their teaching careers.
FORTHCOMING EVENTS PROGRAMME
Join us for the next installment of Music Teacher Monday! This month, our panel will be looking at the theme of problem-solving, tying into the latest edition of our in-house Ensemble magazine. James and Liz will be joined by Jonnie Bridges, Head of Music at Warminster School having taken over the role last September; Jonnie was previously a Director of National Youth Music Camps and believes that helped to shape the teacher that he is today. The panel will also be joined by MTA committee member Mark Aitchison.
We are also delighted to welcome our special guest Jenna Main from ABRSM who will talk through the recent updates to their portfolio, including Classroom 200, Music Medals, Teacher Hub and more.
