Welcome!
The Palo Alto Branch, chartered
in 1952, is a chapter of the Music Teachers’ Association
of California (MTAC). Founded in 1897, the MTAC was incorporated
under the laws of the State of California to advocate the welfare
of the music teacher and elevate the level of professionalism
in music education.
Branch Mission Statement
The Palo Alto Branch music teachers
are dedicated to the promotion of music education and the pursuit
of excellence in instruction as well as performance. Our Branch
Code of Ethics requires our members to uphold the highest standards
of integrity and maintain professional and ethical conduct. Our
teachers strive to instill the love of music, to develop the students’
skills and help them realize their musical potential.
Branch Community Outreach
Program: Music in the Schools
The Palo
Alto Branch is annually recognized by the MTAC for distinguished
community service and outstanding dedication to the Music in the
Schools (MIS) program. The Music in the Schools foundation was
created in 1995 by the Palo Alto Branch as an outreach program
providing classroom music education in neighboring communities.
