The Canadian Federation of
Music Teachers' Associations

The CFMTA was formed in 1935 and is a national association of qualified private music instructors. Our purpose is to promote and maintain high standards of teaching among our members and to foster music excellence in our students. The CFMTA offers its members national conventions, high quality workshops, performance opportunities for students, scholarships for students, a comprehensive journal published three times a year, and contact with other arts organizations across Canada. Our programs include biennial national competitions as well as a Young Artist Series, an annual performing tour that serves to further the careers of aspiring young musicians.
