Provisional members are music teachers who do not quite fulfill the requirements for active membership. The provisional status enables new teachers to gain experience through their students’ participation in QMTA activities.

This status is conferred by the QMTA Board of Directors for a period of up to five years. The provisional member’s status will be upgraded to full (active) membership upon review by the Council based on the member’s increased experience and completion of all active membership criteria.

Provisional members are conferred all of the rights, privileges, and obligations of the Association, and are subject to the code of ethics.

A friend of the QMTA is not a music teacher, but a person who has a deep interest in music and a sincere desire to further the aims and ideals of the Association. Our friend members include piano tuners, music store owners, composers, musicians, accountants, foundation presidents, retired or inactive music teachers, etc.

Friend members cannot be recognized as music teachers. Therefore, while they are entitled to some membership privileges and may attend QMTA activities, they may not present students. Friend members are not covered by insurance.

• Be 18 years of age and over;
• To be resident in the province of Quebec.
