The Professional Music Teachers of New Mexico (PMTNM) was founded in 1951 and is a non-profit educational organization whose members share the vision of furthering the art of music through programs that encourage and support teaching and performance. PMTNM is an affiliate of the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA).

PMTNM is a vital resource for music teachers, students, and parents throughout the state. Our programs enhance the professionalism, personal growth, and career development of our members, while providing students with numerous opportunities to share and develop their musical skills through performances, assessments, and competitive events.

We look forward to you joining us!
