Dues and Membership

Members of the Minnesota String and Orchestra Teachers Association (MNSOTA) are the members of the American String Teachers Association (ASTA ) who reside in Minnesota. ASTA maintains a continuous membership plan. You must renew your national membership every year to remain on the MNSOTA mailing list. Members are notified by mail from the national office when their annual membership is due.

All members receive the American String Teacher magazine from the national office, and String Notes from our state editor. 

Teachers must be members of MNSOTA in order to have their students participate in any MNSOTA activity. You will find your membership number on the mailing label of your handbook and on the membership card you received from ASTA. 

Half-price student memberships
In order to encourage new student members, MNSOTA will pay 50% of the first year student dues for new members who join between August 1 and October 31 of each year. Students should send to the MNSOTA membership coordinator:
- their completed ASTA Application Form (see below)
- copy of their student ID
- check for half the dues made out to MNSOTA

Send only these student applications to MNSOTA membership coordinator:
Allison Bulger Johnson
Lake Middle School, 3133 Pioneer Drive, Woodbury, MN 55125

Allison will forward subsidized student membership applications  to ASTA headquarters with the full payment.
