History

In September of 1956, five Fargo-Moorhead piano teachers formed a study group. The next year a successful effort was made to enlarge the group, and they organized under the name of Fargo-Moorhead Piano Teachers Association. In 1958 they changed their name to Fargo-Moorhead Music Teachers Association, adopted a constitution, and affiliated with NDMTA and MTNA.

The FMMTA now averages 70 members. Our programs include a wide variety of pedagogical topics to further our members professional advancement. FMMTA holds a rally each spring and a Multi-Piano Festival every other fall. In addition, FMMTA awards Junior and Senior High student piano scholarships each spring.
