This season, we need your help to provide nearly 27,000 children with the high-quality music education they deserve.
Education Through Music (ETM) partners with inner-city schools to provide music as a core subject for all children, and utilizes music education as a catalyst to improve academic achievement, motivation for school and self-confidence. We currently serve nearly 27,000 students in 48 inner-city schools.
We believe that every child deserves access to high-quality music education, taught by qualified and well-trained music teachers. Music should support learning in other key areas, including math, science and language arts. Engaged parents and school communities are key to the success of students.
Many schools, especially those in low-income communities, do not have the resources to provide students with a comprehensive music program. We are dedicated to ensuring that all children, despite economic or social status, get the education they deserve.
Together, we can change lives with music education.
Use our social media resources to spread the word about the importance of music education for all children. Learn More
Why Music Education?
Studies have shown that when students have arts in the curriculum they are
as likely to graduate than those who do not
more likely to win an award for school attendance
as likely to be recognized for academic achievement
