PMTNM has a long tradition of offering the students of PMTNM members a wider musical experience than is ordinarily afforded in private music study. Our programs encompass competitive as well as non-competitive programs to meet the needs of all our students. Performance Evaluation Program
The Performance Evaluation Program (PEP) is a non-competitive program. Students perform for an adjudicator who provides written and verbal comments. Each student receives a certificate and a ribbon. PEP auditions are usually held in May and are coordinated by a local chair. PEP Teacher Application

MTNA Music For Everyone Music Achievement Award Program
The purpose of MTNA's Music Achievement Award Program is to help encourage ALL the students in the teacher's studio, especially the "everyday" students, to continue their music study and to strive to achieve goals that will not only help them become better musicians, but also will enhance their love and appreciation of music.
Music Study Award Program
The MTNA Music Study Award motivates students by acknowledging their commitment to music lessons. As students progress through music lessons, this program offers elegant certificates celebrating their accomplishments. These awards recognize years of music study completed in two-year increments up to twelve years of study.
Studio Festival Program
The MTNA Studio Festival Program will allow students to soar musically in a nationally sponsored event, held in your own studio. This program is another way to showcase your students' musical talents in an exciting and meaningful performance opportunity. In addition to enjoying a stimulating performance experience, your students will receive a supportive critique from an experienced musician and an official certificate recognizing their participation.
MTNA Performance Competitions
The purposes of the Music Teachers National Association Performance competitions are to provide educational experiences for students and teachers and to recognize exceptionally talented young artists and their teachers in their pursuit of musical excellence. The state competitions are considered the primary educational level with the division and national levels showcasing outstanding performance and honoring significant pedagogical achievement.
