Victorian Music Teachers Association

Welcome to the Victorian Music Teachers' Association

The VMTA provides access to professionally qualified and accredited teachers, as well as general advice about music education.

We are the recognised peak body of the instrumental music teaching profession in Victoria, and the place to find a great teacher. Our members are listed on our website and can be found by teaching area and location.

Our overall purpose is to bring together music teaching professionals and to support, facilitate and promote high standards of teaching in Victoria. We encourage music teachers to improve the quality of their teaching while at the same time providing students with access to quality teachers. More broadly, our mission is to foster an appreciation of music in the community.

Our members benefit from a wide range of services including professional development, student performance opportunities and advice. Our recommended teaching rates are used as a benchmark by teachers, employers and the wider community.

The VMTA Performance Day was the first event to be held in the beautiful St Peter’s Anglican Church in Box Hill where our Schimmel grand piano is now housed. This annual event gives students of VMTA members who are working at any level and on any instrument, an opportunity to perform in front of a supportive audience and receive valuable feedback from an experienced presenter. Students receive a written critique and general advice that can be applied in their music lessons and performance.

Quality Teaching
By Quality Teachers

We provide access to qualified and experienced music teachers who have met rigorous criteria in order to become members of our association. We also offer independent advice to the general public on how to find a music teacher, and on matters relating to music and music education. Our fully accredited members have achieved formal qualifications in music and have taught for a minimum of 3 years. All VMTA members have reached a high standard in the instrument they teach, and their credentials, including references, are checked prior to their membership being approved.

Supporting and Promoting
Excellence in Music Teaching

We support our members and the music teaching profession by providing a range of services. This includes professional development events such as conferences and workshops and general advice. In addition to being listed on our website, members receive discounted attendance at our events, the monthly eNews, a half-yearly magazine, networking opportunities and ongoing support. Students of VMTA members can participate in our regular student concerts and have access to masterclasses, prizes and awards to support them in their musical journey.

The Voice of the Music Teaching
Profession in Victoria

We are committed to promoting high standards of music teaching in Victoria. We support and uphold professional standards in music teaching delivered by suitably qualified teachers. We believe that all music teachers should have ongoing access to professional development, support and advice. Our recommended teaching rates are used by the music teaching profession and set a benchmark in the industry. Where appropriate, we speak on behalf of our members and the broader education sector and comment on policies and issues that arise.
