Piano Technicians Guild
The Piano Technicians Guild (PTG) is dedicated to providing continuing education for piano technicians. Their commitment to continuing education also includes the credentialed professional piano teaching community. To that end, the PTG is pleased to announce the creation of two new scholarships available to MTNA certified members.
Any piano teacher who has earned MTNA Professional Certification and uses a Registered Piano Technician (RPT) can apply for one of two $750 scholarships from the Piano Technicians Guild (PTG). One of these annual scholarships is to be used specifically for Recreational Music Making (RMM) training, as presented by MTNA, and the other for furthering one’s teaching skills through continued education and/or performance study.
Applications will be screened by the MTNA National Certification Commission (NCC). Previous recipients, members of the MTNA Board of Directors or the NCC are not eligible.
The recipients will be announced at the annual MTNA National Conference Awards Brunch. After the project has been completed, recipients should submit to the PTG and the NCC a written report detailing how the scholarships were used to advance their career or business.
To apply send the following information:
• A completed entry form
• A one-page, typed study plan (including estimated cost, anticipated time frame and information about the RMM training or the proposed teacher education and/or performance study.
• A résumé of your musical background, experience and service
• One letter of reference should be included, along with any other supporting documentation.
All materials should be submitted to:
