In Memoriam
Rose Collier 1937-2025 Rose Collier is remembered fondly within OAMTA as teacher, colleague, and friend. She was a founding and active member of the Oshkosh Area Keyboard Teachers Association (as it was previously named). Originally from Merrill, WI, Rose studied music at UW-Milwaukee and UW-Stevens Point. She was an excellent sight-reader and was in demand as an accompanist. She taught piano to hundreds of students over her 40 year teaching career and believed that "music hath charms to soothe the savage beast". Rose was passionate about sharing her knowledge and experiences, which helped to set high standards for music educators. Rose was married for 62 years and loved books, music, tennis, and conversations with friends, family, and colleagues. She will be remembered for her smart sense of humor and her caring natures. Rose will be missed - within OAMTA and beyond – as a dear colleague and friend. We are grateful for the time we shared with her. |
