Welcome to the Onondaga County Music Educators Association website!  I am honored to serve the wonderful students and teachers of our county as we strive to pursue excellence in music education.  The last few years have taught us how treasured our music programs are.  Life has tested our resilience, asked us to innovate and most of all, to be flexible.  We ask ourselves, “How and when will we return to normal?”.  Answering these questions will require even more time and patience as we allow for the “new normal” to emerge.  These next few years will be years of building and a unified pursuit of our mission.  Through communication, transparency, and maybe even risk, my hope is that our members, schools, and music community come together to create fresh and lasting experiences for our students.

​

Respectfully,

Christian (CJ) Oliver
