Excellence in Music Education


​Founded in 1897 in California, the Music Teachers' Association of California (MTAC) is a professional organization of men and women of approximately 4,400 members throughout the state of California, whose purpose is to promote the pursuit of excellence in the field of music education.

The Orange Coast Cities Branch of the Music Teachers' Association of California (MTACOCC) was established in 1974 with the mission of serving members in Orange County and surrounding areas. The branch is a professional organization designed to provide assistance and opportunities for teachers and students of music.

The mission and purpose of the Orange Coast Cities Branch is to pursue excellence in music education and advance the music teaching profession through innovative programs that foster artistic growth and achievement. Our teacher members of MTACOCC have dedicated themselves to the task of providing opportunities for students to explore their musical potential, to expand their knowledge and appreciation of music, and to develop their technical skills and abilities.

MTAC teachers must fullfill the educational and professional requirements as well as follow the code of ethics as governed by the State MTAC organization
