KENNESAW, Ga. | Jan 1, 2019

Each year, College sponsors of the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) are given the opportunity to nominate their chapter to represent Georgia in the MTNA Collegiate Chapter of the Year selection. The MTNA@KSU chapter was selected as the 2018 Collegiate Chapter of the Year.

MTNA@KSU student members hosted many events throughout the year and are planning for future growth and collaboration with other collegiate chapters. Below are some of the recent and upcoming events and goals for MTNA@KSU:

• Hosted its first KSU Music Summer Camp for pre-college students in July.
• Members presented three recitals for local students and community over the last year and a half.
• Presented for the Cobb County MTA chapter with which MTNA@KSU closely affiliates.
• Presented for the Georgia MTA 2018 State Conference at UGA.
• Hosted the Cobb County MTA Chapter on KSU’s campus for their March 2018 meeting and presented a recital for the Cobb County MTA members.
• Held multiple recruitment events on campus to build membership, which they hope will reach 30 by the end of the fiscal year.
• Will be hosting another Summer Camp in June 2019 for local students.
• Is planning on collaborating with other collegiate chapters in-state to build a stronger network for future music teachers in Georgia.
