WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT

It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the Winter 2023 edition of SA Music Teacher. As the President, I am honored to be a part of the hard working Council and admin team of MTASA, who collate and collect useful and inspiring information for inclusion in this magazine, and I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of them for their continued support.

I am thrilled to announce that our recent Concert Performance Day was a resounding success, with record-breaking attendance and exceptional performances. The passion and dedication displayed by our members and their students were truly inspiring, and I am proud to be a part of such a thriving and dynamic community.

As we move forward, I would like to remind you all that our second Concert Performance Day is fast approaching on June 25, and it is never too early to begin planning and preparing. I encourage our members to enter their students for this exciting event as soon as possible, using our website and Eventbrite platform.

Our organisation is committed to providing our members with the resources and support they need to help their students thrive, and our Concert Performance Day is just one example of the many opportunities we offer. With your participation, I have no doubt that our upcoming event will be just as successful as the last.

In closing, I would like to thank you once again for your dedication and commitment to our organisation. Together, we can continue to promote excellence in music education and provide our students with the tools they need to succeed.

Sofie Arhontoulis, President MTASA
