Did you know that we have a private Facebook group for our APTA members, where you can ask questions, share exciting things, answer questions from other members, build community, and connect with teachers from all over Alberta (and beyond)! There have been a lot of interesting questions and posts in the group recently, including an exciting donation from a retired teacher (if you're a member, check the group for a wealth of affordable music books and resources), questions about specific needs for students, exciting upcoming concerts, how to prepare students for exams, tech suggestions, and more. It's a great place to be!
This is a Canadian edition of "Guess the Composer"! Today, it's a Canadian composer specifically from the West Coast, who wrote over 350 compositions. Who is it? Guess in the comments below!

Connections, professional development, and a kind and encouraging community are some of the best parts of APTA - you can feel like you're not alone in your pursuits, be inspired by those around you, and learn so much from teachers in all sorts of situations. We have teachers in APTA who have been teaching for 30+ years, new teachers, a variety of ages, and so many different specialties! There's so much to enjoy when you're a member of APTA.
