TOBIAS MATTHAY opened his School of Pianoforte Playing in London in
1905. The Matthay School became famous and attracted students from all over
the world. In 1925 the American Matthay Association was founded to promote
Matthay's teaching principles in this country. During Matthay's lifetime the
members of the Association were chosen by Mr. Matthay himself. Since his
death in 1945 members include not only those who actually worked with
Matthay, but also outstanding pianists who have studied extensively with one or
more members of the Association.
The categories of membership are as follows (Click on a category for current roster and biographies):
Active Membership includes voting privileges. Active Members are those who have
been proposed by an Active Member, and/or those who have studied with a
Matthay teacher and been approved by the Board of Governors, and by the current Membership at an annual
meeting.
