Certification
Congratulations to ASMTA member Miriam Dale Harness who recently completed the MTNA certification process. I would encourage all ASMTA members who have not gone through the certification process to do so. The NCTM following your name lets the parents or your students know that you have made the extra effort to become nationally certified. I frequently receive requests from parents to recommend a music teacher for their children and I always send them o the MTNA web site to look for certified teachers in their area.

With Gratitude
I am honored to have been recognized as the 2011 ASMTA Teacher of the Year. I have truly enjoyed the many years I have been associated with ASMTA. The membership includes people whom I count as my dearest friends and colleagues, and it has been a pleasure to serve you in so many different capacities. I always look forward to our times together and the wonderful opportunities for absorbing “bits of wisdom” from each of you.
With my warmest and most humble thanks,
Tim Smith
