The Hollywood Branch was established on April 8, 1956 at a Foundation Meeting convened in an auditorium at 1717 North Vine Street, Los Angeles. Present at the meeting, were members of the State Executive Board, by whom the meeting was authorized. MTAC State President, Helen Adele Daun spoke and a unanimous vote was taken to in favor of the formation of the Hollywood Branch.

Today, the Hollywood Branch maintains an individual schedule of recitals, competitions, programs and workshops, while also participating in all state sponsored projects. It prides itself in the close-knit community of musicians – both students and teachers – that has been created over the years.

The following ideals are the foundation of our organization:

• To promote the stability of the music teaching profession,
• To maintain the high professional standards of our members,
• To maintain exacting qualifications for membership in the organization, establishing the active member as a qualified, accredited teacher, and
• To promise the development of musical potential and ability in students.
