2025 Teacher of the Year - BETTY STOLOFF
Teacher of the Year Award was established as a special award to recognize an outstanding teacher in teaching, character, and service, to be in line with MTNA’s Teacher of the Year Award given at the annual National Conference.
A cornerstone of our organization for over 40 years, Betty Stoloff truly embodies the heart of NJMTA. As a Past President and long-term Board member, Betty was actually one of the original architects of the Teacher of the Year Award back in 2009—helping to define the very standards of excellence she continues to model today. She is also well known as the visionary founder and current Co-chair of the NJMTA Performathon, an incredible initiative that has turned student performances into thousands of dollars for families at the Ronald McDonald House and HomeFront. Beyond her extensive work mentoring the next generation of piano teachers, Betty’s mix of creative leadership, selfless service, and genuine warmth has built lasting bridges between music education and our local community.
