Grants for Professional Development

Fall is upon us and it is time to start thinking about the school schedule. During each school year, Ohio Music Teachers Association offers Grants for Professional Development. This is an opportunity for music teachers to be able to focus on ourselves and how we might improve our skills as teachers and the management of our studios.

With Covid19 on all our minds, there are more online opportunities than ever before. You can literally participate in a program anywhere in the world.

I challenge you to take this opportunity to examine your strengths and weaknesses as a teacher, and to identify ways to become more effective and marketable to potential students. Consider refining your performance skills by working with a master teacher or taking a finance course to maximize your potential earnings. Learn how to master Zoom, WhatsApp, WeChat, Skype, and other apps that enable you to teach online. There are countless ways a professional grant could enhance your skills. You are only limited by your creativity.

We can all make improvements to our studios. Take this time to see what would be most beneficial for you. CEOMTA offers up to $350 per teacher, with a total of $700 set aside each year. Look at the CEOMTA website for details: www.ceomta.org/grants-for-professional-development. The deadline for your application is April 15, 2021.

Look now and plan ahead.

Annette Suhovecky, Chair
