SDMTA was founded in 1955 by a group of music educators across the state of South Dakota who joined forces to improve the standards of teaching music. The primary function of SDMTA is to serve the needs of musicians who teach privately or as an employee of a school, church, business, college, or other organization. Our members teach piano, organ, voice, strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion to individuals or to small groups. Any music professional or college music student is invited to join.

SDMTA is an affiliate of Music Teachers National Association. 24,000 members in fifty states and the District of Columbia broaden the scope of our state organization.

SDMTA has five local associations which sponsor their own events in Aberdeen, the Black Hills, Brookings, Huron and Sioux Falls.
