What is the MMA?

The Music Masters' and Mistresses' Association is the professional forum for music teachers in independent and maintained schools.

It encourages members in their pursuit of excellence in schools.

The MMA fosters the development of high professional standards through conferences, INSET sessions, publications and its website.

It represents the views of music teachers in the wider world of education.

It publishes an annual Music Awards Directory, which raises awareness of the opportunities for musical education in the independent sector.

Successful Inset Day at the London Oratory School

On Saturday 28th February over 20 MMA members met at the London Oratory School for a fantastic Inset Day.
With sessions on GCSE, Prep Schools and Singing there was much to learn and digest  - but the most popular seminar was a Masterclass in 'Stick Technique' by the Royal Academy's Paul Brough, who communicated the psychology of leadership through use of the baton. After much networking, the day concluded with an evening meal at a Knightsbridge Italian restaurant.
Be sure not to miss our next Inset Networking Day.
