Each new MMTA member is sent a Student Achievement Handbook for the teaching area(s) they listed when joining MMTA. It is suggested that these handbooks be placed in protective sheets or laminated so they will last.
The new 2017 Handbook and corresponding resources are available online for members only and upon login. Please look at “Member’s Resources” and 2017 NEW PIANO HANDBOOK.
For a replacement handbook, contact our Membership Chair, David Keep. Each replacement Handbook for any instrument is available for $30.
