GTM New & Previous Member Enrollment Form

Hello, and welcome to the Guild of Temple Musicians!  We are very pleased to have you join us in our important work.

This form allows you to select your membership level for the 2024-25 year and to provide information which will help you network with other Guild members.  

Within 3 business days of your submission, you will receive an email from us with a link to set a password which will give you access to the members-only sections--including the recordings of all Guild Talks Music webinars--of the GTM website, templemusicians.org.  We suggest you make the password the same as the one you're about to create for the ShulCloud site
