member resources library
October 17, 2025
Dear Colleagues,
The most valuable part of PMTNM, to me, is connectivity to other musicians. The member resources library is brand new. It is simply a platform for community strengthening β a tool to connect with others through our member directory, and to share whatever resources you might think valuable and that others could benefit from, whether it is a PDF or a trusted website.
This tool allows you to collect and share resources, generate lists, share PDFs with others, and even integrate ChatGPT for AI research. This tool will unfold and gain value with whatever we contribute. Like our community, it is what we all bring.
As you reflect on ways that you could benefit or share resources with others, take a moment to set up your profile and add your contact info and preferences to our online member list. Connect with others. Grow, and help others grow too.
Thank you for being a member of the PMTNM community - I look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Chip Miller
