The Federation and the TMA are member-driven organizations that work for the benefit of member musicians. The TMA has been a part of the Toronto area music business for over a hundred years. We encompass all areas of the music business. Our musicians (and other AFM members) are the musicians you see playing in concert halls, theaters, night clubs and at private parties.
