Cattaraugus County Music Teachers Association

The Cattaraugus County Music Teachers Association is a county branch of the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) and the the National Association for Music Education (NAfME). CCMTA is made up of 10 school districts, 39 music educators and features hundreds of talented student musicians each year through festival performances.

CCMTA provides musical opportunities for students by hosting festivals for individual musicians, as well as participation in instrumental and vocal ensembles. Every January, we host an annual solo festival, as well as a scholarship audition festival for students to display their individual talents and skills. In March, we host two All-County festivals. Festival 1 features Elementary Chorus, Junior High Band, and Senior High Chorus. Festival 2 features Elementary Band, Junior High Chorus, and Senior High Band. These festivals help enrich the music education and musical opportunities of students in Cattaraugus County.
