The West Australian Music Teachers' Association has compiled a variety of resources to assist music teachers. Some of these are freely available, while others are perks of WAMTA membership.
WAMTA members can also join the member-only WAMTA Community Facebook group for peer support.
In 2024, we took over managing and producing the Music Network News newsletter from Anne Trigg. This is a monthly newsletter packed full of events, professional development & networking opportunities.
