MTNA, the Music Teachers' National Association, has a certification program for members called "Nationally Certified Teacher of Music." I have finally decided to take the plunge and complete this major step in my professional development. Once I submit the application, I will have one year exactly to complete five projects proving that I am a competent musician and teacher. Look under this tab for my progress on these projects: my teaching philosophy, analysis of four teaching pieces (only available once I submit the application), presentation of my teaching, my teaching environment, and studio policies.
