Meet Diane Swain, NCTM

​

Since 2013, I have had the privilege of teaching piano to students ranging from 5 to 70 years old in the Friendswood area with in person lessons, via Zoom/GoogleDuo, and at Bay Area Homeschool Academy.  I am a member of the Music Teachers National Association, the Texas Music Teachers Association, the Pearland Music Teachers Association, and the San Jacinto National Federation of Music Clubs.  I've been playing the piano since I was in 4th grade. I currently volunteer as pianist at Providence Baptist Church in Pasadena.

​

The initials "NCTM" which I put at the end of my signature stand for "Nationally Certified Teacher of Music". From their website,  "The MTNA Professional Certification program exists for teachers who teach music to students of any age level in private or group settings. The program is based upon a set of five standards defining what a competent music teacher should know and be able to do. Upon fulfillment of these standards, applicants are granted the MTNA Professional Certification credential with the designation, Nationally Certified Teacher of Music (NCTM)."
