Thank you for being a friend…

Do you have music teacher friends? Is it even important these days?

Every where I have lived, I have had a community of music teacher friends, or like-minded musicians.

This has taken different forms. Sometimes it was my colleagues at a public school or music academy.

Mostly- I’ve been a member of a local MTA group. (If you don’t know what that is - it is the local group of music teachers that is affiliated with Music Teachers National Association - our US teacher group.)

I’ve had a local group since the late 1990s. Until I didn’t.
