Oregon Music Teachers Association

Use of Recording Equipment
State Policy adopted August 2003

OMTA sponsored events shall be conducted according to the highest standards of dignity and concert hall protocol to promote optimal conditions for the participants. Because the use of recording equipment including cameras, tape recorders and video recorders can cause distraction and commotion, OMTA prohibits their use during all adjudicated events. Recording equipment may be used at non-adjudicated events. When used at these non-adjudicated events, the operators must act discretely to maintain the concert hall atmosphere.

Teachers are responsible for making parents aware of this policy.
