Andrea Keil President, Central East District OMTA
Welcome to the new and returning members of the Central East District - recently named the 2020 MTNA Local Association of the Year! These are unprecedented times for our group, but I am honored to begin serving as the president of CEOMTA.

Thanks to the efforts of our wonderful volunteer chairs, we will continue providing all of our student and teacher events and services, albeit in some different formats to ensure everyone’s safety.

The MTNA National Certification Program exists to improve the level of professionalism within the field of music teaching. Every member of our district is encouraged and invited to become nationally certified by completing five projects which detail your preparation, your skills, and your professionalism. We offer classes for those interested in certification, and attendees say that the group dynamic and peer support assists in many ways. But the projects can also be done on your own, and on your own time-table.
To get started, go to mtna.org and click on the link called “Engage.” Select the bottom category, MTNA Certification Program. Click on “Certification Process – Teacher Profile Projects – at this site: http://www.mtnacertification.org/process/teacher-profile-projects/ Read about the general standards and the five specific projects. Then contact the District Certification Chair (see below) for help and support. It is up to each of us to engage in life-long learning and seek to become the finest teacher we can possibly be. The process to become nationally certified will enrich your life and help your career as a teacher.
Here are the words of Nelita True, NCTM, a leader in our field: “One of the privileges of being a member of MTNA is the assurance that the organization is dedicated to encouraging excellence in the teaching of music. Nothing speaks to this more eloquently than National Certification.”

Inspire the Desire to Learn
Jane K. Reed
What if your students would come into your studio eager to learn? Children are excited about learning when they are actively involved in the process. They engage when they believe learning is happening “through” them rather than “to” them. Join this session to discover refreshing and motivating teaching strategies that re-ignite learning through curiosity, inquiry and self-directed learning.Jane K. Reed is an internationally known Suzuki Piano Teacher Trainer, Piano Educator and Motivational Speaker from Greenville, SC. After earning a degree in piano performance from the University of Findlay, she found her calling in Piano Peda-gogy.
