MTAC Convention 2026- Student Track

MTAC hosts the annual State Convention where world-renowned artists and teachers give recitals, lectures, presentations, and master classes.

Each year the Music Teachers’ Association of California (MTAC) hosts the State Convention, bringing together world-class artists, music educators and students to celebrate music performance and composition.

Taking place from June 26 through June 29, over 4,000 attendees will experience a four-day extravaganza filled with seminars, performances, recitals, presentations, and master classes. In addition, there are performances by professional musicians and an exciting world premiere of a specially commissioned musical piece by Alyssa Morris.

The Student Track is open to all school-aged students and college students of music teachers. Student performer registration does not include the Student Track sessions and events; these performers are welcome to register for Student Track registration. This year, the Student Track features sessions by our guest artists designed for students and access to all guest artist concerts.
