CLEVELAND – Six elementary students from River View Local School District participated in the inaugural OMEA All-State Children’s Choir on Oct. 18. These students recorded and submitted a vocal audition last spring through their classroom music teacher. All selected singers have attended rehearsals this fall and worked many hours on their own to prepare for the concert. One hundred sixteen students from across the state in fourth and fifth grade were chosen to be a part of the inaugural choir.
The Ohio Music Education Association is the third largest of the 52 federated state affiliates of NAfME, The National Association for Music Education. OMEA members are involved at all levels of music education, serving more than 1.8 million public school students in 612 public school districts and 51 colleges and universities in Ohio.
The Ohio Music Education Association is the only state affiliate of NAfME chartered as a music education association rather than a music educators association. The mission of OMEA is to foster a spirit of collaboration for the mutual benefit of all aspects of music education.
