The West Australian Music Teachers' Association regularly organises PD workshops, seminars and masterclasses aimed at both improving music pedagogy as well as running a successful studio.
Recordings can also be purchased on demand to watch back at your leisure. Not all workshops and masterclasses are recorded; whether we can make a workshop available afterwards depends on the presenter.
Provisional members of WAMTA are required to complete at least 4 hours of professional development per year. We recommend that our Teaching and Accredited Teaching members also undertake professional development.
Our workshops and recordings are available to anyone to attend / watch, whether they are a WAMTA member or not. However WAMTA members receive:
- Discounted attendance at all WAMTA workshops, masterclasses and seminars including the WA Piano Pedagogy Conference
- Discounts for online professional development modules and recordings
- Discounts for webinars and recordings offered by VMTA and QMTA
