The North Island branch of the BC Registered Music Teachers’ Association is a professional organization for qualified music instructors across Campbell River, Comox, Courtenay, and surrounding areas. Part of a larger provincial and national network (BCRMTA and CFMTA), the association maintains standards for music education and connects students with registered teachers in piano, voice, flute, conducting, and music theory. If you’re looking for a music teacher or you are a teacher seeking professional development, this is the local branch that coordinates that work.

Teachers in the association hold designations like RMT (Registered Music Teacher) or AMT (Associate Music Teacher), indicating they’ve met specific training and professional standards. The organization offers professional development opportunities including pedagogy instruction, student composition masterclasses, and provincial conferences. They also maintain an online directory of current members, which is a useful resource if you’re trying to find a qualified instructor in a specific discipline.

The branch serves as both a professional network for music educators and a public-facing directory for families looking for lessons. Membership is open to qualified music teachers who meet the association’s standards. Check their website for the teacher directory or information about joining if you’re a music educator. The organization publishes “Progressions” magazine and upholds professional conduct guidelines for members.
