New York City Music Teachers Association/UFT

The product of a 2006 merger between the UFT’s Music Teachers’ Committee and the Music Education Association of New York City, the NYC Music Teachers’ Association/UFT provides professional development for music educators in New York Citypublic schools.

The committee hosts several workshops each year. Topics are chosen based on committee members’ needs and desires; we strive for our workshops to be both fun and useful. Past topics include musical theater, band instruments, brass and wind instruments, music and film, music technology, world drumming, and many others. We are proud to count among our past presenters musicians John Jakobson and Will Schmidt.

Committee membership is open to all UFT music teachers and all UFT members, regardless of discipline or profession, are welcome to attend our workshops. We hold an annual planning meeting for these workshops at the end of June. If you would like to participate in planning the workshops, contact the UFT Professional Committees office at 212-598-7772.

Committee members are also invited to events hosted by the Music Education Association including the Association’s cocktail party, workshops, and annual dinner. We encourage you to join the Music Education Association as a supplement to your membership in the NYC Music Teachers’ Association/UFT!
