The West Mesa Music Teachers
Association
The non-profit West Mesa Music Teachers Association (WMMTA) offers activities and membership benefits for teachers, students, and parents. WMMTA is based in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, a suburb of the city of Albuquerque. Its local activities serve the greater Albuquerque area; its several Internet publications aid music education all over the world. We sponsor concert series, music education and master classes, and competitions for students of all ages and levels.
The award-winning Piano Education Page, over 250 pages of free information for teachers, students, and parents of students of the piano, is just one of WMMTA's Internet publications. We publish a Spanish language translation of The Piano Education Page, The Piano Education Page en Espaņol, for the benefit of Spanish-speaking students. WMMTA, in a collaborative effort with the New Mexico State University Music Department, sponsors a family oriented music e-magazine, called Muzine. We encourage our members to contribute articles on areas within their special expertise to these sites. If you would like to speak to a worldwide audience about music education generally, there is no better place than the WMMTA Internet publications!
WMMTA is a professional music teachers organization that values and puts into action the ideas of all our members for the betterment of music education. We are continually developing new activities from the ideas and interests of our members. We encourage every one of our members not only to participate in existing WMMTA events but to be instrumental in organizing new ones. If you would like to be a part of our many positive endeavors, we extend our heartfelt invitation to join us in working toward improved music education for both teachers and students worldwide.

New Mexico has a high plains topography in the east and is mountainous in the central and western parts of the state. The desert climate and mile-high altitude of Albuquerque account for its moderate four-season weather. The state has a rich history steeped in the lore of the American West and is inherently tricultural, with a population composed of Hispanics, Anglos, and at least 22 New Mexico native American nations. If you would like to see some of the grandeur of New Mexico's scenery or learn more about its people and culture, we suggest the following resources:
