For Teachers
Hillsboro Area OMTA welcomes anyone actively engaged in music education.
We are constantly working toward our OMTA goal of “Musical growth for all.” Our members are independent music teachers, collaborative musicians, and college faculty.
Meetings
Calling on a roster of outstanding presenters with a variety of topics, you will find our programs inspiring and come away excited to share new ideas with your students. Meeting with local teachers connects you with fellow professionals with whom you can share successes and challenges, trade teaching tips, and refer students. Our meetings will be held on 2nd Wednesday mornings (10:00-11:30) in September, November, January, March and June (see Calendar for more details).
Student Events
Our members work together to provide regular recital performance opportunities, including West Side Recitals in October and December, Repertoire Festival in October and Ribbon Festival held in February. Students may also participate in OMTA’s well-rounded and thorough Syllabus Evaluation program, which provides a structured path for dependable musical growth.
