Friends of Today's Music commissions new works specifically for young musicians. Established in 1986 by Dr. Bob Bennett, the project has supported the creation and publication of new works by leading composers of our time. Each commissioned work is premiered by young musicians during the MTAC convention while the audience follows along with the published score.
The Music Teachers' Association of California (MTAC) annual State Convention is an exciting opportunity to engage with over 8,000 music students, parents and teachers. The Convention brings together world-class artists, music educators, and students to celebrate music performance and composition. This four-day extravaganza is filled with seminars, performances, recitals, presentations, and master classes.

The music teachers from this association charge so much u can afford them. U should not pay such high price to learn music. One teacher from this site wanted 400$/ month 4 one hour class and 45 min theory class. being a single mom that is half of one of my paycheck. Sad that u can give ur kid music lessons cos they are so expensive
