HPMA is excited to present the Chamber Music & Preparatory Program!

The Opus 1 Preparatory Program is a comprehensive Saturday music school for string players and pianists ages 8–18. This program allows students to keep their own teacher and expand their education through studio classes, music theory, ear training, guest artist workshops, rotating electives, and monthly performance opportunities.

Opus 1 Chamber Music provides youth and adult amateurs accessible and personalized chamber music education. Students are placed thoughtfully into ensembles on the basis of compatibility, and are given access to masterclass and performances throughout the year.

To the professional musicians in our community: help us spread the word. Share this post, tag a family who needs to know about this, or reach out about getting involved. Houston’s next generation of musicians would love your support!

The AFM - American Federation of Musicians just wrapped up its 103rd Convention this last week in Ottawa, Canada! 🇨🇦

Congratulations to President Gagliardi, Canadian President Ellliot, and Secretary/Treasurer Shirk, and IEB Member Kelly on their re-elections. We welcome incoming VP Suarez-Flint and newly elected IEB Members Bradely, Cummings, Velasco and DiCosimo!

The convention was preceded by the Southern & Eastern Conferences. Our very own Sharon Montgomery is currently serving as SOCO President and got things kicked off by singing our national anthem before leading a very productive conference. HPMA President Alex Navarro led a discussion on orientations, sharing the success our local has had in educating new members on all things AFM. Montgomery also served as TEMPO Chair, raising thousands of dollars towards our political initiatives in Washington.

Shout out to first time delegate Austin Lewellen who was active on the convention floor with some crucial feedback on resolutions. And thanks to veteran delegate Sam Dinkins for his committee role at the convention.

Our four convention delegates are charged to get back to work along with your executive board in implementing new AFM Initiatives and continuing to serve and grow our local! 💪
