Click to update your information on the BCRMTA website. They will notify our local branch with your updated information.

However, you may also wish to notify the Victoria branch directly. Contact our Membership Chair.

If you no longer have students, you are welcome to remain a full member of BCRMTA (Victoria Branch). This enables you to share your expertise with other teachers, and assist the association as it moves forward. Many members opt to maintain their membership so they can continue to support the local branch, provincial, and national Associations.

If you choose to resign your membership, be sure to notify BCRMTA prior to the membership renewal

deadline so that you resign in good standing. This leaves the door open if you wish to join at a later date.

Be advised that by resigning from the BCRMTA you are also resigning from the CFMTA.

This is an in-branch honour bestowed by the executive on long time members. Associates are notified of local branch activities, and encouraged to attend. However; they are officially no longer a BC Registered Music Teacher and forfeit all voting rights. Associate Members do not pay fees.
