Welcome from President Barb Ross
The Apple Valley Music Teachers Association is a club of music teachers in the Apple Valley, MN area. Our members teach private and group lessons in every instrument, composition and theory. We also provide students with opportunities to participate in Festival and community recitals.
If you are a private music teacher looking to network with other teachers and provide your students with performance opportunities or a student looking for a teacher, please use the "Contact Us" button above.
