What members are saying
I’ve been a member of the Ann Arbor Piano Teachers Guild for many years. I get continuing education, both at our Thursday morning meetings and directly from my colleagues. I get support for the work that I do in my own studio; I share supplies and ideas.
“The teacher finder, student recitals and formal programs are the most valuable benefits of local membership for me, along with getting to know other teachers and learning about their interests, students and special projects.”
As a new piano teacher, AAAPTG is a wonderful organization that provides enrichment and development opportunities. To know and learn from fellow teachers’ experience is also valuable. I would recommend everyone who is new to teaching to join!
