TI:ME Membership Application
Click this link for our secure online credit card application.
Online membership is strongly encouraged, however, a PDF of our membership application is available.
For a number of years, TI:ME has relied on PayPal for processing online membership payments. We know it is convenient for many members. We also realize some of you have created an automatic payment option for your membership renewal through PayPal
None of this has changed. You can still use PayPal to renew your dues.
However, we are now encouraging members to use our new credit card processing system. Why? Frankly, the processing and transaction fees are lower, which helps both you and TI:ME. You can pay your dues with no fees and without having to sign up for PayPal. And TI:ME receives a more favorable transaction fee, while having all payments deposited directly into our bank account. It lowers our expenses - plain and simple.
The Board knows you expect them to use your dues dollars wisely. This is one way to honor that trust.

TI:ME’S Four Primary Initiatives:
- TI:ME Courses: Through TI:ME, teachers have enrolled in our unique for-credit courses (both masters and inservice), where educators from across the country converge to learn from the industry’s leading professionals. The courses are designed to help teachers keep up with the fast-paced field of music technology. Teachers learn strategies and methods to help make music technology an integral part of their personal life and school curriculum. Taught by the country’s most in-demand technology instructors in a hands-on environment, these courses are an intense, yet supportive way to learn about music technology. Enrolled teachers conservatively stated that as a result of a TI:ME course, their teaching effectiveness increased by at least 50%. Go to the TI:ME website and click on Workshops to find course information and locations. TI:ME certification is available for those interested.
- National Conference: The TI:ME Conference is a unique opportunity for music educators to come together in a rich environment of technological innovation. Expert clinicians provide a wealth of information for novice, intermediate, and advanced users of technology. This meeting, which is held in different locations around the country, is the premier event for music educators in using technology in their teaching. Regional and state chapter conferences expand these educational opportunities.
- TI:ME Website: This is your portal to lesson plans, teaching resources and online forums populated by other teachers, and industry professionals who devote their time to helping others. The TI:ME website is a repository of up-to-date materials, organized by level and national standards; you simply can’t find this material anywhere else.
- TI:ME Newsletters: Each month, TI:ME sends a one page, informative email newsletter. Several times a year, a printed newsletter is sent to all current members. These newsletters contain vital information about upcoming TI:ME events, relevant issues for TI:ME members, and informative links to music education technology-based websites.
