RMT students benefit from awards, support
The Saskatoon Registered Music Teachers’ Association (RMT) is an organization of professional, dedicated, energetic, and qualified teachers within your community. RMT members teach a variety of instruments and related theoretical subjects, from beginner to the most advanced levels. Each Registered Music Teacher holds at least one degree or diploma from a University, Conservatory, or recognized school of music. RMT members are also committed to continuous professional development. The Association’s objectives include promoting progressive ideas in music education, encouraging professionalism in the art of teaching, and stimulating a high standard of music and culture. The student of a Registered Music Teacher benefits from a variety of performing opportunities, workshops and recitals with visiting artists, and opportunities for awards and scholarship support.
The 2018-2019 season features many fabulous events for Registered Music Teachers, students, and the community. These include meetings, workshops, and concerts to educate and inspire our members. There are also many other performances throughout the year featuring our students. Our branch is a strong supporter of the annual Saskatoon Music Festival, with many of our students and teachers taking part as performers and organizers. In November, there are special events planned as part of Canada Music Week. Early in 2019, we will showcase our students and exam medalists in our RMT Spring Recital.
This October, our branch is very pleased to host the Saskatchewan Registered Music Teachers Association Convention. This is an opportunity for our teachers to gather and learn from each other and experts from across the country. Featured presenters this year are Maria Case, Dale Wheeler, Janice Elliottdenike, Karen Gerelus and Mary Joy Nelson.
A very special event will be a concert presented by the winner of the Esther Honens Piano Competition. This competition takes place every three years in Calgary and is one of the most prestigious events of its kind in the world. We are excited to present the first public performance of the new winner.
We have a network of highly qualified instructors providing expertise in a wide variety of musical performance and instruction. To find a teacher in your area, or to learn more about Registered Music Teachers, please check our website at
