Meetings, Latest News



OAMTA meetings are held September through May, on Tuesday mornings at 9:15 AM.  We conduct a business meeting, followed by a program.  We have covered many topics of interest to the independent teacher, such as developing a brochure and a studio policy, dealing with the exceptional student, choosing appropriate literature for students at each level, preparing for competitions e.g., WMTA auditions and Solo-Ensemble, keeping students' interest, and many more.
A favorite part of our meetings are egg-timer questions.  Anyone can ask a question that they need help or input with and the egg timer is flipped for short responses. 


...an invitation to OAMTA

We believe that you would bring unique talents, perspective and experience to OAMTA.  Whether you teach piano, voice, strings, winds or percussion, are just beginning to teach or have taught for many years, we welcome you and we know that our programs will enrich your teaching!!

You are invited to our first meeting--or any meeting--to have a look-see.  Our programs will be of great interest to you, and you are welcome to attend one at no charge.
