Welcome from the President
Welcome to the MAPTA website!
And welcome to the forty-first year of the Madison Area Piano Teachers Associated, Inc. We are an organization of diverse individuals united by our passion to building a richer cultural and artistic community.
Please take time to peruse this website which highlights the various recreational, educational, competitive and social activities that MAPTA offers for its members. Hopefully you will find activities in which either you and/or your students can participate.
MAPTA is always eager to add new perspectives and energy, so encourage any acquaintances to become a new member.
If you have any questions, suggestions or comments feel free to contact me or any board member and committee chair.
Looking forward to a great year.....
