In 1932, all aspects of music education were brought in, forming the OMEA. One of the oldest music education associations in the United States, the OMEA recently celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2007.

Its mission: "to foster a spirit of collaboration for the mutual benefit of all aspects of music education." The OMEA continually sponsors both regional and statewide contests.
