Description OMTA Syllabus is a suggested course of study made available to each member to use as a guide in teaching. It covers theory, technique, sight-reading and ear training, as well as repertoire. A qualified adjudicator evaluates the student's presentation of the requirements and provides written comments. Certificates are awarded to participating students. Syllabi have been written for piano, organ, voice, strings, woodwinds, guitar and jazz piano.
