Greetings teachers, and welcome back to a new school year! We are busy planning this year’s festivals and will be posting more information as it becomes available.

We have our General Membership meeting on Wednesday evening, October 2 at 5pm at the Fireside in Middleboro. The social hour begins at 5pm and the meeting will begin at 6pm. Please join us, and bring a colleague!

Finally, if you know of a neighboring town that has a new music teacher, please reach out or and have them get in touch with us. We love seeing new teachers getting involved in our organization. Invite them to our meeting or have them stop by at auditions.
