The OMEA Mission Statement

The Ohio Music Education Association believes that all students should have equal access to high quality music instruction delivered by licensed music teachers through comprehensive school music programs in general, instrumental, and choral music education.

OMEA advocates for comprehensive music programs in general, instrumental, and vocal music education; state and national music standards with assessments to ensure that students meet high academic expectations; and licenses music teachers with adequate instructional time and appropriate facilities and materials for music programs.
