Each month, ORMTA will be sharing some of the tools that are available to music teachers and students. 
 
ORMTA members are welcome to suggest resources. If you have used a website, blog, app, book, newsletter, webinar, workshop, tool, etc. that would help build professional development within our membership, please let us know by emailing professionaldevelopment@ormta.org. We aim to include Ontarian or Canadian content in each issue.

The Lotus Centre

 
Over the last 13 years, The Lotus Centre for Special Music Education has aimed to provide access to adapted music education for the neurodiversity and disability communities. The Lotus Centre offers one hour webinars, free of charge, on their website. The variety of topics include: Adaptions for Students with Learning Disabilities, Managing Teacher Burnout and Compassion Fatigue, Understanding ADHD and Finding Success in Music Teaching, to name a few. You can find the webinars here.

The Metropolitan Opera, HD Live

 
Once again, the New York Met is streaming live performances of their operas in theatres across the country. This year, the 2024-25 Season includes Les Contes d'Hoffmann, Tosca, Aida, Fidelio, Le Nozze Di Figaro, Salome and Il Barbiere Di Siviglia, some of these found in our history courses.

This is a fun and affordable way to expose your students to the wonderful world of opera, through a field trip to the theatre. Your students will love the experience!
