MAPTA: Milwaukee Area Piano Teachers Association is a professional non-profit organization of piano educators. MAPTA is open to all PIANO TEACHERS within the state of Wisconsin. Our purpose is to acquire professional relationships in the exchanging of ideas with other piano teachers. Our goal is to help area piano teachers stay informed and on top of the latest developments in pedagogy, with special guest speakers and videos with topics ranging from technique to teaching materials. |

MAPTA meets (3) three times per year. Our meetings are in Fall, Winter & Spring as follows: September/October, late January and April. All members are required to attend at least two meetings per year in order to qualify for entering students in the MAPTA AUDITIONS, which are held on the first Sunday in March. Students who enter the Auditions must play (3) three memorized pieces. They can earn up to 15 points per year. Once they accumulate 25 points they earn a trophy. There are several categories that students may enter in: SOLO NON-COMPETITIVE or COMPETITIVE divisions and/or DUET NON-COMPETITIVE divisions. For more details and specific requirements, please refer to the MAPTA AUDITIONS HANDBOOK or email MAPTA if you have any questions regarding the Auditions. Students entering at level 5 & up who earn 14-15 points, qualify to perform at the MAPTA HONORS RECITAL (held two weeks after the Auditions). Students who are at level 3 & up and earned at least 13 pts. are eligible to take part in the POST AUDITION RECITAL. This event is usually held a week or two after auditions. |
