Howdy Stranger!

It's Spring time! Besides enjoying the recent great weather, we are working hard to expand our resources to better serve our membership and to become the ultimate resource for the entire Minnesota music community. Keep checking in with us for new programs, more services and greater opportunities.

We would also like to take this time and thank you for being a Member of the MMA. Your contribution is greatly appreciated and we would not be able to continue our efforts without your support.

Many announcements about what we're up to will be coming soon, but in the meantime, keep an eye on your inbox and the website for an informational survey we'll be sending out. We need to hear from you! We're looking to grow the MMA to better serve the music community, but need your opinions on what you want and expect from the MMA. In addition to growing our showcase and educational opportunities, we're in the beginning stages of developing a new website that will have more information, more tools and more resources for our membership and the Minnesota music community.
