The OMTA is affiliated with MTNA, and members hold dual membership in both associations.
Note: Some members of the Toledo Piano Teachers association are not listed in deference to their preference for privacy.
To become a member: applicants should obtain a membership application from the membership chairperson, complete the application, and send it to the membership chairperson. At the next regular meeting of the TPTA, the application will be reviewed by the attending members and membership acceptance of the applicant will be voted upon.
Associate Membership is open to anyone interested in promoting excellence in Music Education. This includes piano teachers who, for whatever reason, do not meet the requirements to become active or provisional members, but who wish to further their interest and support of music through the organization.
Provisional Membership is for piano teachers who are working toward meeting all the requirements for Active Membership. After three years of teaching, they may apply for active membership upon qualification.
Active Membership is for piano teachers, at least 21 years of age, who have a high school diploma, at least three years of teaching experience, and two years of music and music theory study at the college level (or the equivalent thereof). They must also complete the audition requirements below.
To become an Active Member, applicants should contact the membership chairperson to schedule an audition of six of the teacher's students in a public or studio recital with three members of the membership committee. Audition requirements may be waived for full-time university faculty, for teachers transferring from another professional group, or for teachers who have presented students for audition to fulfill membership requirements of the Ohio Music Teachers Association.
Active and Provisional Members must attend four meetings during the year. If the attendance requirements are not met, the member shall then be listed as an associate member.
Annual Dues are $25.00.
