Teacher Certification

 

As a Strategic Partner of the Music Teachers National Association, ABIA enjoys the distinction of being one of the few institutions whose curriculum has met MTNA’s rigorous demands for teacher training and certification.

Whether one is a student, a performer hoping to take on students, or someone interested in pursuing teaching full-time, ABIA is uniquely qualified to prepare candidates for certification allowing for the highest levels of education while providing these advantages:

  • Enhanced marketability

  • Greater respect for the teacher as a professional educator

  • International recognition

  • Confirmation that the highest standards of teaching and education are being met

  • A better educated teacher

  • A better business person

  • A greater understanding of both the teaching and learning process

  • Greater self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment

“We believe that the Alexander & Buono International Academy maintains the integrity and reputation of MTNA Certification through its outstanding program of study and the results it has achieved. In addition, this relationship with ABIA represents a significant step in MTNA's commitment to serve the increasingly international music teaching community as the 'gold standard for music teaching globally."
