The Houston Music Teachers Association, Inc., (HMTA) was organized in September 1941. They provide scholarships to young people through music competitions and festivals and winners' recitals and aid and support winners of competitions in the furtherance of their careers. In the 1947-48 season they had 100 members and Carter Music Company sponsored "The Steinway Piano Contest" for HMTA students. Fifty-four students participated and the winner's recital was held at Carter Music Hall. This was repeated in 1949 and then Carter Music Company withdrew. HMTA continued with the contests and and a winner's recital is held annually.

Arrangement

The records of the Houston Music Teachers Association, Inc., (HMTA) consist of 14 boxes and two large envelopes. The material, starting from 1941, begins with general matters, Yearbooks and Membership Rosters and the files of various Presidents, Secretary's and Treasurers; membership applications followed by material on Student Affiliate matters and the piano contests. Next are meeting minutes and various financial reports followed by their Newsletter starting in 1948 through 1998, scrapbooks and an LP record and magnetic tapes of their winners' concert.

The above were donated by the Houston Music Teachers Association, Inc. and have been arranged chronologically by subject group. Sundry financial papers such as bank statements, bills and receipts have been returned to donor.
