Westside Recitals

Founded by three OMTA teachers in 1998, the Westside Recitals welcome student and teacher performers of all ages. Pieces are to be “recital ready” to the standard of your studio to ensure a positive experience for performer and audience. 

Please dress nicely. If music is necessary for performance, no photocopies are allowed. Friends and family members are welcome to attend. Student participation fees are to be paid to the teacher, who will send one check to the district treasurer.
