SPPTA Teachers Care Enough about Their Students to provide opportunities for musical growth and for participation in both competitive and non-competitive activities; to give a broad, comprehensive music education of the highest quality; to develop the necessary skills for a lifetime of music; and that students should receive tangible recognition for their progress.

SPPTA Teachers Care Enough about Music in our Society to give of their time and resources to support the arts in the community, state and nation, and to develop skills in their students which contribute to the musical life of school, place of worship and community.
