Have you been thinking about bringing an expert to your region? Want to organize a workshop but are unsure about covering costs? APTA is here to help make it happen!
We support our members in creating meaningful professional development opportunities – whether you’re organizing your first event or tenth.
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES:
- Bring that inspiring presenter to your community or region: We can help cover fees and, possibly, travel costs.
- Organize workshops and masterclasses: We handle promotion and provide guidance.
- Create local or online learning opportunities: In-person sessions, hybrid events, and virtual gatherings.
- Connect with quality presenters: Access our presenter roster and event planning support.
HERE’S HOW WE SUPPORT YOU:
- Financial Support: We contribute to presenter fees, venue costs, materials, and more – so budget doesn’t hold you back.
- Marketing Support: Your event gets promoted through member email and social media to help make your event a success.
- Planning Guidance: Not sure where to start? We’re here to help you plan, connect you to presenters, and answer questions.
READY TO GET STARTED?
Timeline: Reach out 6-8 weeks before your planned event. This gives us time to support you properly!
Just have questions? Use the “I Have a Question” option in the form. No commitment needed!
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT:
- Quick Review: We’ll look at your idea and respond within 7 business days.
- Let’s Make It Happen: We’ll work out the details together (funding, promotion, logistics).
- Celebrate Success: After your event, you’ll share a brief article and photos so other members can celebrate your success too!
Post-Event: We’ll send you some guiding questions to help you write a brief article (150-300 words) and ask for 1-2 photos from your event. Easy and meaningful!
YOUR IMPACT:
When you organize continuing education events, you’re not just creating learning opportunities. You’re building community, supporting fellow teachers, and strengthening piano education for all our members.

Financial Arrangements
APTA would like to make these opportunities available to as many individuals and groups as possible. We do not wish to exclude anyone due to lack of funds. To this end, the Executive has budgeted several thousand dollars for such events.
APTA’s mileage allowance is $0.50/km
