• August 3-5, 2007 we hosted the OMTA State Conference.  Our then-president, Sarah Barker Ball, co-chaired the event with Susan Todd from Portland.

• October 20, 2007 an organ workshop “Traditions for Tomorrow”  was presented by Dr. Jeannine Jordan.  This workshop, sponsored by Lincoln County OMTA, was designed to introduce organ skills to pianists and to enhance the organ skills of experienced organists.  Intermediate and advanced students were welcomed and were exposed to the “workings” of an organ. Traditional organ technique, registration and repertoire were demonstrated, as well as integration of sounds from a MIDI attachment.

• October 11, 2008 a workshop "Rhythm Through Movement" was presented by Dr. Mary Kogen, Professor Emerita, Portland State University. A few photographs from this workshop are shown below.
