Financial support for students striving to achieve excellence in the musical arts is a primary service provided by HMTA. Our scholarships aim to help with enriching experiences at music camps and workshops of all kinds. They also provide help with the often daunting expense of musical studies at the college level, and with the acquisition of vitally needed professional-quality musical instruments. Read details about our scholarship program, including application procedures.

HMTA members are skilled teachers in many musical disciplines. They are trained and experienced in their specialties. We have teachers of piano, voice, conducting, music theory, and almost every orchestral and band instrument. CONTACT US if you do not see your instrument in the Members List or if other assistance is needed. We are eager to help find the teacher you need.
